Per Jace:

Minnesota wins 53 games, falls in Round 2 to Denver​

Even in a talented West, the combination of Minnesota’s top-eight talent, Edwards and experience make the Wolves a clear-cut top four team in the conference. A strong start figures to pave a smooth path for the regular season.

But a significant jump is required for the Wolves to be true title contenders, something they were not a year ago. That will have to come in the form of improved team offense, more consistent defensive effort and individual development.

The guess here is they make strides in two of those three categories, but it’s not quite enough to keep pace with Oklahoma City and the Nuggets’ revamped roster.

For a team that has NBA Title aspirations, heading into the season with Conley, Dilly and Bones Hyland as our PGs doesn't exactly instill much confidence.

With many teams in the West like GS, HOU, LAC, DEN and DAL strengthening their rosters in the off-season, I fear a serious regression might be coming our way this year. Excited to see how TSJ and Beringer progress, though.
