Anthony Edwards Voices Frustration Over Defensive Pressure and Timberwolves' Struggles
The Timberwolves star is grappling with constant double teams and a stagnant offense following offseason roster changes.
- Anthony Edwards expressed frustration with being consistently double-teamed, stating it limits his ability to play his preferred offensive style.
- Minnesota's offense has struggled this season, ranking 20th in rating and 22nd in points per game after trading Karl-Anthony Towns in the offseason.
- Julius Randle has been a solid addition, but other key players, including Donte DiVincenzo and Mike Conley Jr., have underperformed offensively, compounding the team's issues.
- Edwards' shooting efficiency has declined since a strong start to the season, with opponents focusing defensive efforts on neutralizing him as the primary scoring threat.
- Analysts suggest that adjustments in offensive strategy and roster changes could help Edwards and the Timberwolves rediscover their form after a disappointing start to the season.
