The Minnesota Timberwolves Stats

2023-24 NBA Season

Coming off a disappointing end to an exciting season, the Minnesota Timberwolves look to make changes and improve during the 2023-24 NBA season. Despite having a talented roster led by All-Star Anthony Edwards and D'Angelo Russell, the team failed to make it to the playoffs, finishing ninth in the Western Conference with a record of 46-36.

One of the key areas of improvement for the Wolves will be their defense. The team ranked 22nd in the league in defensive rating last season, allowing 114.2 points per 100 possessions. They struggled to contain opponents in the paint and on the perimeter, and they also had difficulty forcing turnovers.

To address their defensive issues, the Wolves have made several changes to their roster. They added Rudy Gobert in a trade with the Utah Jazz, a three-time Defensive Player of the Year who is known for his rim protection and rebounding. They also signed Kyle Anderson, a versatile forward who can defend multiple positions.

In addition to their defensive improvements, the Wolves hope to see continued growth from their young players. Edwards, who is just 21 years old, is one of the most promising young players in the league. He averaged 21.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game last season, and he is expected to take on an even bigger role this season.
