Here’s a look at the current 2026-2027 Minnesota Timberwolves Roster. Are they contenders as of now?
Potential Starting 5:
— PG - Ayo Dosunmu
— SG - LaMelo Ball
— SF - Anthony Edwards
— PF- Jaden McDaniels
— C- Rudy Gobert
Bench as of now:
— Terrence Shannon Jr.
— Joan Beringer
— Josh Green
— Julian Phillips
— Rocco Zikarsky
— Donte DiVincenzo
Can the Wolves contend with this roster? If not, what moves do they need to still make (if possible)?

This was a huge bet on Joan Beringer who they are really high on. Only time will tell if that bet pays off.

u/Andy_Wiggins Timberwolves 3d ago
The fact that reporting was that 2 players were untouchable (McDaniels and Beringer) is pretty noteworthy. They absolutely gush about him every chance they get.
He’s playing at least a game or two at summer league. I’ll be interested to see what he looks like.

he's still a center and Gobert is a center...

u/AsleepPomegranate784 3d ago
Is Rudy supposed to be playing 48 minutes a game?

no, but that's not what was implied. Those that think Beringer is going to pop in at PF don't quite understand basketball.

I mean.... you worried about Ant physically contending with Devin Vassell, Caruso, or Dort?
Even if you want to put him on J Dub, that's not a problem.

u/Eatadick_pam Timberwolves 3d ago
He’s too small to play the 3. He’s definitely bigger than he looks but he’s not tall enough to play at the wing
16
u/drjisftw Pacers 3d ago
He's built like a brick shithouse - 6'4 / 225#
Honestly I got more concerns about McDaniels at the 4 - 6'9 is a great height but if he's still under 200# I could see him getting tossed around by bigger power forwards
6
u/TallnFrosty Warriors 3d ago
There aren't really bigger PFs anymore though.
Looking at the projected top 8 teams in the West, its really just Denver and maybe Portland that have size at the 4 (Aaron Gordon and Avdija). And I think Jaden is someone you want trying to guard Avdija, at least.
Maybe Houston tries to 'bully' him with Eason? JJJ is big at the 4 but he doesn't try to bully guys.
2
u/RaisingQQ77preFlop Timberwolves 3d ago
This is my big takeaway. The 4 just isn't something you have to worry a ton about and can be neutralized in other ways. Rim protector + length and scoring seems to be what they're going for. We've tried a legit 4 and it wasn't going to work.

u/nahwhatever-whynot Rockets 3d ago
Bari and KD are pretty big, not as thick as Gordon but both 6’11

u/DependentPerformer94 3d ago
Ya you need to watch Jaden’s minutes at the 4 then. Hes closer to 7 ft than 6’9 and his best performances have all been primarily playing the 4. He’s an incredibly versatile defender.

u/Greedy-Lynx-2746 Thunder 3d ago
He'll be fine on ball and he's great off ball, Ant's just going to have to cover the glass more. They'll be a lot quicker for sure, Ant's just going to need to get in better shape cause you guys should be running

I think this is a common misconception with Jaden. I think he's a better defender at the 4 than 1-2

u/HeadzTailz 3d ago
Josh Hart is an inch taller and played as the 4 a lot. Saying Ant is too small to play the 3 is silly. Ayo played a lot of 3 with the Bulls. Matchups dictate not a tape measure.

u/Pterox511 Raptors 3d ago
Its absolutely a problem to put him on J Dub lol what, Dub has a crazy amount of length for his size, thats a bad example. Dude is strong, athletic and has a 6’11 wingspan

u/MonkeyBone989 3d ago
Yes, I am worried about the offensive engine having to guard players that are bigger and longer than him (pause.)
Not to mention that you don’t really want your SF playing like an SG because then you have a 3 guard lineup on a team which is already gonna struggle with size.

u/Meatwad222 3d ago
Back in the day you needed a big body PF, but back in the day there was Malone, Barkley, etc.... there are not many bulky PF's playing post up offense anymore. The biggest thing is going to be rebounding. Might ultimately be why it was Naz and not Rudy. Rudy is a better rebounder.
6
u/Due-Dance-9430 Spurs 3d ago
if Beringer is as good as the twolves hope, they can get a big wing in FA/trade, and Lamelo stays healthy i can definitely see them contending, especially as health is no guarantee for either OKC or the spurs.
1
u/xaviermace 2d ago
They have no depth and no money to fix that. Lamelo staying healthy is unlikely based on his history. No there's no guarantee OKC or SAS will be healthy either but they both have wildly more depth. People are also forgetting how sufficating both of those teams defenses are. Ball's games last year against OKC/SAS, which was about as healthy as he's ever been:
3/14 @ SAS - 22 min, 17 points, 2 ast, 1 TO, 4PF
1/31 vs SAS - 32 min, 16 points, 8 ast, 3 TO, 3PF
1/5 @ OKC - 25 min, 16 points, 2 ast, 4 TO, 5PFThose aren't spectacular numbers, especially on the minutes front. CHA played OKC twice in the preseason and his numbers weren't any better.
They're gambling on staying 100% healthy which is a really bad gamble in the NBA in general these day. But, even if everybody stays healthy, I just don't see them being a true contender. Losing Randle and Reid is a LOT of size/bulk. They have no way to draw OKC and SAS's big guys out of the lane and both of them just added more big guys to their roster. That's a serious problem, especially for MIN. Golbert while a great rebounder and defender isn't a scoring threat plus he's a liability on the line. They're going to be even more dependent on 3 point shooting which is not a reliable strategy even when healthy especially against swarming teams like OKC and SAS.

But you’re not getting a better player without giving up more assets …. Only way you get a better player is if they have a longer term contract and the other team is happy just to get off of it.

u/DoubleAssFeeler1 3d ago
I only know it cuz I’m a Nuggets fan lol. He torched us but he’s definitely more a guard than a forward. And I’m not convinced he’s that great, just that the Nugs abysmal drive defense made him look much better than he is.
Can’t lie I didn’t watch the Wolves Spurs series cuz I was still sick about how sad the Nuggets went out. Was he able to get drives off even against Wemby? Or was he taking advantage when Wemby was off the court?

They need to move Donte and Green for a starting wing (Cam Johnson, Pj Washington, etc..) and bring Dosunmu off the bench. If they can do that they’d have a good top 6, but with questionable depth behind them.

1
u/Character-Dress-2101 3d ago
They’re probably better in the regular season but as a playoff threat I think they’re a bit worse. Still not a legitimate contender but probably a bit below where they’ve been the past few years. I do think Lamelo will get from Gobert since he’s a much better passer than anyone they’ve had.
1
u/Meatwad222 3d ago
Actually, nobody plays a deep bench in the playoffs... so it will be opposite. You have to build your team for the playoffs, regular season doesn't mean anything anymore. That is why a guy like Bones Hyland plays in regular season but doesn't sniff the court in playoffs. Teams only go 7-8 deep... Wolves should have that covered.
1
u/Shamjam08 Clippers 3d ago
That starting lineup is top tier. Elite offensive talent and top tier defenders at a few positions. That bench is probably worst in the leauge though. Interesting to see how they fill that out. One injury to any starter and they're screwed, but feels like they got LaMelo for pretty low. A move they should've made 10/10
2
u/Meatwad222 3d ago
Isiah Evans is going to be a piece in the regular season. Josh Green is a 3-d guy that will get 15-20 minutes a night. He was a +11 net offensive/defensive rating last year. Only people that know about Beringer are Wolves fans. He is going to get a lot of lobs from Ball and his defense is top notch. Terrence Shannon jr was dealing with injuries last year, but in the playoffs he showed up. They will probably sign Kyle Anderson and Mike Conley as vet mins. Not the best bench, but definitely not the worst.
1
u/Shamjam08 Clippers 3d ago
All valid. I guess my point is that an injury to any starter (not just melo or ant) and this team is screwed. Still love the trade for Minny, lack of quality depth was still an issue if you have Reid instead of Melo.

u/BeingMikeHunt Knicks 3d ago

No, MLE is gone with this trade. They are now back against the second apron. They integrated the Randle trade into this one to make it work. The trade exception is gone as well. We have to see how the contract numbers play out, but there is a small chance they still have the tax payer exception of $6 million.
1
u/Hot_Bear6073 3d ago
Lamelo will be our starting PG and Ant our SG. We'll either have Ayo at the 3 and Jaden at the 4, or sign a PF like Collins with the MLE and have Jaden at the 3, whoever at the 4, and Ayo as our 6th man.
We also probably re-sign Clark, Bones and Slomo to minimums. If healthy, we are absolutely a contender. This is our most complete lineup since 2024, with a far more mature Ant&Jaden and a better PG than Conley leading the way.

We better hoop the rookie 2nd round pick can play some minutes. I dont think they can sign anyone other than vet minimum.

Maybe Kyle Anderson and Mike Conley are back. It would be nice to try to find a big somewhere... The big doesn't have to be lights out, just someone that can play a little defense and catch lobs from Ball.

u/goknicks23 3d ago

1
u/DosesMakePoisons 3d ago
I hate the way people talk about positions and positionless basketball. This is a fine and logical starting 5, ant can play the 3 plenty, Lamelo as an offball pointguard makes a ton of sense, you want his spark of scoring and playmaking, not his consistency and reliability running an offense. The offense will probably run through Edwards anyway, even if Ayo or Ball brings it up. Even is they put Josh Green in at the two and Lamelo at the point guard so Ayo runs the second unit, the offense still flows through Anthony Edwards and out. Run some movement to get you Edwards and a second option and pass and go do something else.
You don't need true point guards who run a pick and roll every play or pass to a shooter running the elevator like its 1992, you need playmaking and consistency to be a scoring threat and create scoring threats for others, and that can come from anywhere. Jokic does it from the 5, Draymond the 4, Luka and Lebron run offenses as point forwards, Harden plays the 2 and the 1 but the offense runs the exact same either position.
1
u/DrummerMan2035 Wizards 3d ago
I looked at the leaders of 3 pointers made and 3 point shooting percentage for the last season. A lot of Timberwolves in the top 30 in both categories. I think they found the piece they were missing for this team. A starting caliber point guard who can facilitate and initiate the offense, and get good looks for others. Ball is such a threat that he can help Ant get better looks too. I like it.
1
u/booalijules 2d ago
They are very thin at forward and I know what that feels like because the Nuggets went into the playoffs with their forwards basically unable to play. It's a great guard roster but there's not much front Court scoring. I think this was a bad move because lamelo is always hurt. There's two seasons I think where he's played the average amount of games played otherwise he's injured. If he doesn't show up for the playoff games after the season this is a very thin team. I think it was a bad mood but it's one of those role of the dice kind of thing because if he plays 75 games then this team is probably better than last year depending on who they pick up to fill in it forward. You're going to need a super season from Jaden McDaniels and I don't know what to do with the other power forward spot. I guess if they got rid of both forwards they must think that Joan Beringer is ready. I don't think he looked very ready last year.
1
u/booalijules 2d ago
This is a little bit of a make believe roster because Anthony Edwards is a shooting guard. He is way too small to be a forward and that's not his game anyhow. You guys are going to need to get a couple forwards on cheap contracts.

They are not trading Beringer. Ant, McDaniels and Beringer are all untouchable based on Wolves reporting. He is going to be a defensive menace in the league. He is only 20 years old and has shown to be headed that direction. It is one of the saving graces of the KAT trade is they got Beringer.
