Weekly averages: 11.7 MPG – 7.3 PPG – 3.0 RPG – 0.3 APG – 57.1% FG – 80% 3PT – 100% FT

Low minutes, occasional defensive lapses and Jamal Crawford’s insane fourth quarter against Utah keBelly’sy’s power ranking at seven this week, but he can consider himself slightly unlucky.

He contributed 9 points and 3 rebounds in the season opener and followed it up with 10 points and 5 rebounds against Utah.

Although he had a quiet game in Oklahoma, he has solidified himself into Thibs’ rotation once again, doing so with a flamethrower on the end of his arm.

The big Serbian has made 8-14 from the field, and 4-5 from 3, Looking comfortable in the offense for the first time in his Timberwolves career and providing the ‘stretch four’ potential that has made him so intriguing for Wolves fans.

If he can keep it up, you can be sure to see his minutes, and power ranking rise.
