They will have a better record than wolves. Dont worry about that.
I would rather be the #1 seed and get the 29th pick than the 6th seed and get the 24th pick or whatever.

If we are the 6th seed in the west then we are likely looking at a pick in the 18-20 range. Also we want the warriors to have a better record than the sixers and nets as well.

You don't have to watch every shot of every player. You need to watch like 5 minutes of Anthony Edwards and D'Angelo Russell to understand the types of shots they take.

3FG% alone is a horrible, horrible way to judge shooting. You need context. Royce O'Neale is not a better shooter than Damian Lillard despite having a better career 3FG%.

I bet damian lillard has a better percentage than those twolves dudes though. Compare the twolves dudes with other high volume shooters instead of royce then and see where they stack up.

Fair. I still would love to get the #1 seed over the 6 seed. I love winning games. Even regular season ones. Plus we would be the talk of the town. It would be awesome.
plus though we would get a better pick as the 6th seed maybe being the #1 seed helps free agents want to come here and maybe we get more calls from the refs and the winning culture/confidence factors in as well.

This is such a weird and off base analogy. Royce is a good three-point shooter and shoots a good percentage from 3. Nobody is saying anything about anyone being better at shooting based off 3PT%. I’m simply saying Edwards/Russell/McDaniels are not good shooters and literally every single shooting stat backs it up.

Yes because Damian Lillard is one of the best shooters of all time. What are we even talking about lol. Yeah, the TWolves would be really freaking good if Russell and Edwards were all time great shooters. There is no way in hell you look at Donovan Mitchell and Jordan Clarkson as bad shooters last season, for example.

The Timberwolves were the 8th best offense in the league last year. This idea that they lost all their shooting is dumb. Beasley was a good shooter for them, they also played worse offense when he was on the court. Their shooting talent is more or less the same as last season. The difference is that they are playing significantly worse basketball because they're struggling to play with Gobert and Russell+Edwards are playing like complete garbage.

The only number you have cited to determine who is not a good shooter is 3FG%. Do you just lie for fun?
