The future of the Timberwolves rests on the broad shoulders of their young and talented frontline duo of Andrew Wiggins and rookie Karl-Anthony Towns and slowly, both are showing promise.
With Towns expectedly still trying to learn the ropes through the guidance of Kevin Garnett as reported by ESPN, Wiggins has been showing why he was a highly touted pick from last season.

Wiggins has shown glimpses of promise since being acquired last year from the Cavaliers and now he has taken that up a notch by taking the lead scoring role.
Wiggins is getting his points either from driving into the paint or from the charity stripe when he draws fouls. So far, that tactic has been working perfectly for the youthful T-Wolves, who currently tote an 8-11 record in the Western Conference.

With that in mind, Wiggins is on track to be the team’s new go-to-guy. He has been playing extensive minutes, but even more impressive is that despite being only in his second year, he has learned to play through pain.
“I'm out there at 20 years old," Wiggins said via CBS Sports. "Have a young body. If it hurts today, it'll be gone tomorrow.”
Apparently Wiggins is showing fast signs of maturity and is unafraid of sacrificing his body, which speaks well for the T-Wolves. The apparent difference comes in the fact that the 20-year-old has somehow mastered the art of body control.
In certain situations, it seems like Wiggins is floating and awaiting contact where he can effectively make adjustments to try and get a shot up. If he fails, such doesn’t pose a problem as well since he does have a good free throw shooting touch.
Right now, his three-point shot is something that is lacking, but once Towns proves he can get the job done from the inside, the transition could be easier for the Canadian sophomore.
