Andrew Carlson has covered the Minnesota Timberwolves since the 2021-2022 season; ironically, the franchise's first playoff appearance in four years. Following the rise of the Wolves and Anthony Edwards, Andrew has covered and been credentialed for multiple postseasons and Western Conference Finals runs up close to the team, while marrying both opinionated and technical content around the game. Andrew attended and graduated from the University of Missouri where he got his degree in journalism, and covered SEC football and basketball for multiple news outlets.

After two games, we have a picture of what the Minnesota Timberwolves' rotation could be, including forward Jaden McDaniels.

Chris Finch will have to weave rotations in order to maximize a talented roster

Drew Timme was a multi-game starter for the Los Angeles Lakers last season.

Drew Timme has played real minutes for fumbling teams in the league - but his decision to be a camp body for a winning organization is a newer trend the Minnesota Timberwolves are getting used to.

LaMelo Ball Timberwolves brings in a new wave of personality to the locker room, but is adamant that his game is the best way he has gone about introducing himself.

Tim Connelly is in the final year of his contract, and did not speak much about his future beyond the season.

Tim Connelly's future leading the team's basketball operations is still unclear as the Wolves head into the season.

Joan Beringer's minutes will be an interesting aspect to monitor during the Wolves' preseason games.

The Minnesota Timberwolves head into their preseason schedule with more intrigue than previous years, making a typically uninteresting part of the season eyebrow-raising.

Chris Finch plans to be more proactive with the Timberwolves tactics this season with Micah Nori gone.

The Timberwolves lost their top assistant to a head coaching role, which could force head coach Chris Finch to step in more down the stretch.

Terrence Shannon Jr. was out for a large portion of the regular season last year before breaking out in the playoffs.

The Minnesota Timberwolves will have multiple players increasing their role this season with a new-look roster.

Joan Beringer will be a key piece off the bench for the Wolves in relief of Rudy Gobert

The Minnesota Timberwolves have re-shaped the roster and filled major holes, but the bench unit, led by Ayo Dosunmu, will have questions that need answering.

Jonathan Kuminga expressed excitement about joining a perennial winner in Minnesota.

Jonathan Kuminga introduced himself to the Twin Cities for the first time on Thursday morning, and shed light on his role and decision to choose the Timberwolves.

Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert will have to be important in a seamless transition to Jonathan Kuminga and LaMelo Ball in the starting lineup.

The Timberwolves have had a history of acclimation periods after big moves. After a roster overhaul this summer with more eyes on them and an older group of star players, it cannot take as long as it previously has.

Chris Finch will be able to get creative with his bench personnel, even with Donte DiVincenzo sidelined for most of the season

Jonathan Kuminga's arrival changes a few things for the Timberwolves in 2026-27, including how they utilize the established names currently on their bench.

Chris Finch has gained playmaking on his roster, but will need more than just that from his group in order to make it far this season.

The Timberwolves need a power forward—that's been established. But more than just the four position needs an answer on this team.

These Wolves players will experience some changes with Jonathan Kuminga in the fold.

Jonathan Kuminga's arrival won't just bring about a roster change for the Timberwolves, but on-court impacts for other players as well.
