Somehow, NBA fans continue to overlook the Minnesota Timberwolves. They’ve sustained success for multiple seasons now. While the Timberwolves haven’t captured a championship during the Anthony Edwards era, they are consistently in the mix, hovering near the top of the Western Conference and rarely slipping out of contention.
