Minnesota Timberwolves Roundup: Podcast, plus T-Wolves Gaming are champs

The Minnesota Timberwolves aren’t exactly NBA Finals contenders, but the esports version of the Wolves has won the championship.

Minnesota Timberwolves fans may have to settle for the virtual version of their squad winning the Finals.

But hey, we’ll take them where we can get them, or something like that.

After getting to the semifinals of the playoffs and then advancing to the Finals, T-Wolves Gaming spoke with our own Jeremy Bratcher about the season and their impressive run into and throughout the postseason.

T-Wolves Gaming was an expansion team this year, and to turn the tables midseason and get hot just in time for the playoffs was significant.

The 2K League may only be two seasons old, but T-Wolves Gaming is already a legendary squad and it’ll be fun to see what they are able to do next season.

Elsewhere, yours truly was named the new host of the Locked on Wolves podcast, part of the Locked On Podcast Network. That means that on a nearly daily basis, I’ll be hosting a short, quick-hitting podcast covering the latest Wolves news.

It also means that in the months of August and September, I’ll be spending a lot of time on the Wolves’ current roster, including the depth chart at each position and what the rotation might look like for new head coach Ryan Saunders come fall.

The most recent episode published Saturday morning and discussed the Wolves preseason schedule, whether the roster improved or got worse given the roster moves made thus far during the offseason, and a quick snap-shot of the cap situation and if the Wolves could still make a major move this offseason.

I’ll be posting the most recent episodes right here at Dunking With Wolves, but be sure to subscribe to Locked on Wolves.

Now that we’re into the dog days of August, we’ll have plenty of analysis regarding each player on the roster and what they’re fit is on this year’s squad. So far, Jack Borman has covered the roles for newcomers Jake Layman (here) and Shabazz Napier (here). They’re fantastic, in-depth write-ups, so be sure to check them out.
