The Minnesota Timberwolves made an under-the-radar move during the trade deadline that could pay off massively. They went and acquired Ayo Dosunmu from the Chicago Bulls, as they desperately needed a new ball handler. Some praised it as the best move of the deadline, and Anthony Edwards is already loving his new teammate.<\/p>\n
Edwards talked about Dosunmu<\/a> after the team\u2019s 115-96 loss to the LA Clippers. He talked about his energy and how much he\u2019s enjoyed having him on the team already. Dosunmu chipped in 11 points, three threes, and two steals during the loss.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Edwards also praised Dosunmu for bringing the ball up the court and helping the Timberwolves get into action.<\/p>\n \u201cPressuring the ball, point guard, bringing the ball up, gets us into actions. I\u2019m trying to help him a little bit with the playbook and learning the plays and stuff like that, but other than that, his communication is top tier,\u201d Edwards told the media.<\/p>\n It\u2019s exactly what Wolves fans will want to hear about their new acquisition. Sometimes, NBA trades don\u2019t end up making a difference in the long run for a team. But Dosunmu is proving he could be an impactful player off the bench for Minnesota. It\u2019s something they\u2019ve desperately missed this season.<\/p>\n The Timberwolves are coming off back-to-back trips to the Western Conference Finals. They\u2019re entering the prime of Edwards\u2019 career, and want to make the most of it. The season hasn\u2019t gone exactly according to plan up to this point, but they can still turn things around and make another playoff run.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Dosunmu could end up being a big part of that playoff run. He was an addition that the Wolves needed to make, and we commend them for doing so. They don\u2019t feel like a championship contender because of it, but they do at least feel like a threat to knock someone off.<\/p>\n All in all, Edwards and Dosunmu should continue to build chemistry the more they play together. It sounds like their on-court relationship is off to a phenomenal start. It\u2019ll be interesting to see where it can take the team.<\/p>\n The post Anthony Edwards Admits To Taking Ayo Dosunmu Under His Wing to Teach Him Timberwolves\u2019 Playbook<\/a> appeared first on The SportsRush<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Minnesota Timberwolves made an under-the-radar move during the trade deadline that could pay off massively.
