Amid offseason of rumors, Karl-Anthony Towns sidesteps instead of squashes
It’s been an offseason filled with rumors and reports about Timberwolves star center Karl-Anthony Towns, so Wednesday seemed like the perfect opportunity for Towns to take his size 20 shoes and squash them all. But with a media availability scheduled at Towns’ basketball camp at Providence Academy in Plymouth, Towns instead used his deft footwork uncommon for a big man to sidestep the big topics. Before the session began, one of the camp organizers informed the large assembled media contingency that Towns would only be answering questions about his camp and said the interview would be...

Minnesota Timberwolves: 3 reasons why Derrick Rose will win Most Improved Player of the Year
The name of Derrick Rose has made the NBA world divided for almost a decade now, but somehow his name has gone from famous to infamous for reasons that are difficult to comprehend.

Wolves first-round pick Josh Okogie is off to a great defensive start
Welcome to the Tuesday edition of The Cooler, where hustle and effort are always rewarded. Here we go: *The Timberwolves finished up NBA Summer League play in Las Vegas on Friday. If you stayed up late to watch them most or all of the time, you truly are starved for basketball. But you also probably saw this: First round pick Josh Okogie filled up the stat sheet and was exactly the kind of defensive presence the team could use on the perimeter. Granted, his shooting (just 30 percent) was poor and this was just Summer League. But in averaging 11 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 2 blocks...

Assessing Anthony Tolliver’s Fit With the Wolves
In what has been their only major free agency move to date, the Minnesota Timberwolves signed Anthony Tolliver to a one-year $5 million deal. The Wolves hard-capped themselves by signing him, and the move signalled the end of Nemanja Bjelica’s time in Minnesota. Tolliver is coming off a productive season with the Detroit Pistons. Stan Van Gundy’s outfit were marred by an outdated scheme reliant on mid-range shots and poor shot selection. One of the only players who really had any kind of modern offensive value was Anthony Tolliver, as he shot 43% from three and wasn’t guilty of...
