Are the Minnesota Timberwolves about to lead the nba in Lob Dunks?

I’ll preface this by saying they are nowhere near to the lob city clippers or a couple other legendary teams in lobbing ability. But are they the best today?

Lamelo ball is pretty obviously both a top 5 playmaker and lob throwers in the league currently. At bigs he now has Rudy Gobert who’s been top 10 in dunks for the last centry, Joan Beringer and ultra athletic young big who really runs in transition. Along with that he has the wing Kuminga, Jaden, Shannon all good dunkers in their own right with kuminga being a particularly good lob catcher. On top of that I’m sure we will see couple fast break Ant lobs.

A modern day Lob City?

Going to lead in Wins and Trophies, can’t tell you what else will happen.

With Lamelo’s health, idk

And your team doesn’t have any players with injury issues? Injuries are always a possibility.

Yeah but Lamelo is extremely injury prone lol. We made it to the finals and WCF game 7 with players hurt. OKC can withstand injuries with the depth, I can’t say that about the wolves.

Is Lamelo obviously a top 5 playmaker??

cowmastermind | Timberwolves

Yes you oaf??

Jokic, Luka above him but then after that I feel like he’s got to be one of the next. Trae Young, Lamelo, Cades probaly the next tier then it falls off.

I’d say Haliburton and Cade for sure. So there’s a case for Lamelo to be 5th imo, but that’s still arguable

minecraftjahseh | Trail Blazers

I have Brunson, Shai and Hali above him as well

Hali for sure brunson and shai are very debatable

Odoaiden [OP] | Timberwolves

1 | 13 minutes ago

Forgot about Hali because he’s hurt Shais good at turning it over but his metrics aren’t nearly as good. Brunson just isn’t close I’d name 5 more before Brunson.

Yeah Brunson is a great player but not a top 5 playmaker

MG_MN | Timberwolves

Brunson is awesome but hes not really a playmaking passer, at least not best in the league level

Trae young is a better playmaker than Luka and jokic

It’s the most athletic team in the league, absolutely they can

I don’t watch the Wolves or Gobert a lot so I don’t really know, but is he really a lob guy or just get passed the ball/rebound under the basket and dunk guy?

Odoaiden [OP] | Timberwolves

1 | 16 minutes ago

Catching lobs is the one type of pass he’s good at catching, he drops anything fast and low.

_Wash | Timberwolves

1 | 11 minutes ago

huge lob guy going back to his time on the jazz.

he’s just been unlucky that the only people on our roster who could actually throw lobs were 35yo+ lol

MG_MN | Timberwolves

1 | 6 minutes ago

Awesome lob guy, we just havent really had lob throwers aside from Conley

I think ill definitely be watching more of their games this year, I think theyll be an interesting team to keep tabs on.

Most important stat to track

kiernanblack | Pistons

1 | 7 minutes ago

My money is on the pistons actually. Duren was tied for 3rd in dunks with Gobert. Ausar is 25th in the league and then they have added John Collins who was 32nd in total dunks and of course you have Cade to do the lobbing. I don’t think any other team has three players that high.

LouisIcon | 76ers

With VJ, JB and LeBron. I’m not so sure…

Odoaiden [OP] | Timberwolves

1 | 5 minutes ago

None of those guys are big lob catchers. LeBrons old and only does it sometimes now. Jaylen Brown is really just an on ball dunker and guy in general. I’m sure VJ can get some though like Ant.

Lead the league in play-in tourney losses probably.

Odoaiden [OP] | Timberwolves

1 | 4 minutes ago

Well I’d assume that will be a 4 way tie

Thehelloman0 | Spurs

Maybe if LaMelo can stay healthy. He’s missed significant time ⁴⁄₆ seasons he’s played
