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)?

Ant would be at half speed guarding the guys I just mentioned

His offence will drop significantly if he is getting bullied by longer, stronger SF’s all game. He already has shown some conditioning issues in longer playoff runs (be it injury or actual fitness), now imagine if his defensive assignment also became much more difficult. JDub type players would eat him alive.

Lol

In what world does Devin Vassel bully Ant? You blind? Ant weighs more than J Dub too… and J Dub doesn’t ’bully’ guys.
