[The Athletic] NBA Power Rankings: Timberwolves jump to brink of contention; 30 players we love so far



​

[Timberwolves jump from 22 to 6 in this edition of Zach Harper’s Power Rankings!](https://preview.redd.it/dn70bh161zyb1.jpg?width=641&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf4760b2b2803fa47be1660f9970b2efd2f3d317)

A snippet:

**Player we’re loving so far:** Anthony Edwards. We’re looking at roughly a 27-points-per-100 possessions difference in net rating when he is on the floor versus off it. Edwards has continued his strong play from the FIBA World Cup and applying it to the NBA. His jump shot is lethal right now, and he seems unstoppable going to the rim. His playmaking needs to improve, but he’s clearly taking a leap.

**Why here?** The Wolves look really good. Two massive wins over Denver and Boston.

    Now we just need him to punish teams when they send doubles at him

    I just love he keeps clearly adding to his game every year.

    Having us ranked 22 to begin with is insane. They thought this was a lottery team ???

    Who cares what they think? Seeing is believing.

  5. Zach Harper praising the Wolves and not being condescending about it I never thought this day would come

    If this continues a lot of people owe Connelly an apology. Including me

  7. The fire Finch commenters have been awfully quiet recently
