The Timberwolves’ young core gets talked about a lot in NBA circles. Wiggins, Towns, Rubio. A big three that will take Minnesota to the promised land or at least make for some fun viewing for a few years until the team is dismantled.
But no one ever includes the fourth piece of the championship puzzle, Shabazz Muhammad. Big three? Pfft. More like a big FOUR! This dude is still young (though still probably a year older then his contemporaries), and still improving (actually got worse so far this year but ignore that). It seems like just yesterday all he could do was lefty push-shots in the paint. Now ? Threes, dunks, right-handed shots, he have it all, just like Monta Ellis.
I can see him being a dark-horse Finals MVP candidate in 2019.
