Tim Legler shares a few tips for Minnesota Timberwolves

Talking about what improvements the Minnesota Timberwolves need, sports analyst Tim Legler said on The Dan Patrick Show, “They need to address their lead guard position. I love Mike Conley; he’s been one of my favorite players in the NBA his entire career, just a huge fan of his. He’s a leader; he’s tough; he’s great in Memphis, but he’s at the stage of his career he’s not going to generate any additional offense for people.

I think some of that has to be taken off the plate of Anthony Edwards.”Stressing what shooting guard Edwards needs to change in his playing style, Legler added, “I think Anthony Edwards needs to understand that there can’t be moments of games where he feels his way out; he feels the game. That’s not what he needs to do; he needs to come out and have a Jordan-like approach, a Kobe-like approach. I think he’s got the athletic ability, the explosiveness, the all-around scoring game to do it.”

Praising Edwards after the team’s loss, head coach Chris Finch said, "I think he's in a really good place in his developmental arc. I think, 23 years old, he's got two Western Conference finals under his belt He's been able to navigate a lot of different looks and defenses. He's got a pretty good amount of winning, a lot of winning actually underneath his belt, too. This was a big year for him, and it was kind of his team, quote unquote.

I thought he did a good job with his leadership.”Also Read: Kendrick Perkins apologizes to Anthony Edwards in a written apology note: “I was not taking a personal shot at you”Edwards scored 19 points, adding six rebounds, two assists, and a block while shooting 7-of-18 from the field and just 1-of-7 from three-point range. This obviously wasn’t enough to bring the Oklahoma City Thunder down, which is already riding high on enthusiasm thanks to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his MVP win.
