The Minnesota Timberwolves are facing significant challenges with their star player, Anthony Edwards, who is struggling to adjust to increased defensive attention. After a recent game against the Boston Celtics, where he scored only 15 points on 5-for-16 shooting, Edwards expressed frustration over being double-teamed, claiming he doesn’t know how to respond to the defensive strategies aimed at him.

Despite his talent, Edwards’ inability to adapt to the defensive schemes has raised questions about his effectiveness as the franchise player. His teammates and coach acknowledge his potential but suggest that he needs to evolve his game to navigate defenses better. Edwards has shown flashes of brilliance earlier in the season, but his recent shooting slump, particularly from three-point range, has compounded the Timberwolves' offensive struggles.
