Locked On Wolves - Daily Podcast On The Minnesota Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves finally gave Jaylen Nowell more minutes this year, and the former PAC-12 Player of the Year did not disappoint. His offense exploded, and Nowell proved that he has the ability to be one of the more efficient bench scoring options in the league moving forward. Taurean Prince was acquired last offseason to provide more versatile defense and shooting to the Wolves' rotation, and he did exactly that in his first season in a Timberwolves uniform. But will he be back in 2022-23? Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down the seasons that each player had and what the outlook is for next year.

The Minnesota Timberwolves were a much deeper team in 2021-22, and that meant that a pair of players who saw regular minutes over the past couple of seasons saw their playing time reduced. Still, Jordan McLaughlin came on strong at the end of the season and in the playoffs, and is likely to be a big part of head coach Chris Finch's rotation moving forward. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down the individual seasons of both McLaughlin and Josh Okogie.

The Minnesota Timberwolves ultimately fell short against the Memphis Grizzlies in their first-round playoff series, but what does the Game 6 loss and the series as a whole tell us about what the Wolves need to do this offseason? What does it all mean for D'Angelo Russell? What other needs do the Wolves have? Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) also discusses pending free agents and the players who are most likely to be traded this summer in the first preview of the offseason.

The Minnesota Timberwolves fell to the Memphis Grizzlies in a hard-fought Game 6 as the Wolves' season came to a close. Once again, the Wolves led for much of the game but fell apart in the fourth quarter as Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, and offensive rebounding doomed the Timberwolves. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) and Chelanga Langason (@chelangason) go live to discuss.

The Minnesota Timberwolves and Memphis Grizzlies can each make the case that they should have already won their first-round playoff series in five games. Each team has won a game easily, and the other three games could have gone either way. But silly mistakes have harmed both young squads. Plus, Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) covers the four biggest issues for the Wolves so far and what must change in Game 6 if the Timberwolves are going to take this series the distance.

The Minnesota Timberwolves struggled on both ends of the floor down the stretch in the Game 5 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. What happened on offense, and why was the shot selection so bad? Also, the Grizzlies deployed a brand-new small-ball lineup that confounded the Timberwolves and slowed down Karl-Anthony Towns. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) discusses why it worked so well, and how the Wolves may counter in Game 6.

The Minnesota Timberwolves led for much of Game 5, but struggled defensively on Ja Morant down the stretch and allowed the Memphis Grizzlies to come from behind and win. Conversely, the Wolves did a strong job getting the ball to Karl-Anthony Towns early in the game, but the late-game offense devolved into too much isolation play for Minnesota. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down what happened, including what the Grizzlies did well to ensure that Morant had advantageous matchups to exploit.
