Timberwolves’ shot distribution has already spread the wealth this preseason

Dunking with Wolves reports that the Minnesota Timberwolves are successfully sharing shot attempts across their newly reshaped roster through the first two preseason games. While critics questioned how additions LaMelo Ball and Jonathan Kuminga would fit alongside Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, and Jaden McDaniels, early distribution shows balanced involvement. Edwards leads with 23 attempts, while McDaniels, Kuminga, and Ball have each recorded at least 13 attempts.

Writer Chris Schad highlights Ball's role as a facilitator in pick-and-roll situations, which has particularly benefited McDaniels on the perimeter. The article also notes that head coach Chris Finch can utilize transition opportunities and lob passes to keep Kuminga and Gobert engaged offensively as the team prepares for the regular season.
