Parker Fleming: UNDER. I’m going to press the brakes on the hype train. This team will be nasty in a year or two, but remember: this team is still very young. Out of their core, Kris Dunn is its oldest player, and he’s a rookie. Don’t get me wrong, there will be glimpses of dominance, but a lot of growing pains will occur in their first season under Thibs.

Ryan Snellings: OVER. I don’t think it will be by a lot, but the talent is there in Minnesota. It’ll make a push for the 6 or 7-seed. KAT is the real deal and Wiggins and Lavine should improve again this year. The future is bright. (Note: I miss Kevin Garnett already.)

Taylor Buckley: OVER.

Ian Pierno: UNDER.

Ryan Schmitz: UNDER. I think it takes one more year for the Timberwolves to really hit their stride. Kris Dunn is NBA-ready, but hasn’t had a chance to mesh with the team. KAT, Wiggins, and Lavine still have to grow and I’m not sure this is the year they fully blossom.
