Minnesota Timberwolves: Kris Dunn Starting Would Be Best

Conclusion

Dunn wants to play for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Meanwhile, Rubio’s “ultimatum” is that the Minnesota Timberwolves must make the playoffs or else he’ll leave. In building a core for the future, a basic prerequisite should be that the team is acquiring talent that wants to stay.

To this point, Dunn, Wiggins and Anthony-Towns are players who seem more willing to build themselves up into a championship roster together than to bolt town and join a franchise that is already a playoff-contender. Rubio may have more confidence in the team this year than in years past. However, his loyalty to the franchise should be in question.

The Timberwolves will have rough patches as a young team. Rubio’s going to be dreaming of more productive franchises to leave when times get tough. Though constant public expressions of his displeasure and discontent aren’t in Rubio’s repertoire, his ultimatum could cause him to alienate himself from his teammates.

Dunn has all the talent necessary to take over the starting point guard position for the Minnesota Timberwolves. His scoring ability, defensive instinct and physical attributes will unlock the offensive and defensive potential of the starting unit.

Kris Dunn: What Does He Do For The Minnesota Timberwolves

The Wolves have one of best young cores in the league, if not the best. There’s no point in stopping the momentum of the group by undermining the style they want to play. By continuing to start Rubio, a player who doesn’t fit within the starting lineup, that’s exactly what they’re doing.
