Timberwolves Fantasy Exit Interview: Anthony Edwards remains the face of the franchise, but what else can Minnesota count on?

By Dan Titusโ€ขYahoo Sports

Dan Titus examines what's ahead for the Timberwolves in fantasy and reality with their playoff run over.

The Timberwolves bowed out in the second round , falling to the Spurs in a matchup that proved to be too much for Minnesota. They handled business against the Nuggets, taking care of that rivalry for a second straight year โ€” but San Antonio was a different animal. Injuries played a role down the stretch, though at this point, that can only explain so much.

Here's how the Wolves fared during the regular season and what it meant for your fantasy teams. Anthony Edwards Ant delivered another strong fantasy season, cementing himself as a first-round talent โ€” though he remains one of those guys whose per-game value still hasn't fully caught up to his ceiling. The knee injury late in the season was brutal for managers who rode him deep into their playoffs.

That said, I'm not fading Edwards. His availability history and ascending production keep him firmly in the conversation as a back-end first-rounder heading into next season.

Predictably unpredictable. Rudy Gobert's fantasy descent continues, finishing 112th in 9-cat and 90th in High Score despite being drafted 70th overall. Heโ€™ll still be a decent source of boards, blocks and FG%, but offers little upside in the mid-rounds these days.
