Brooklyn Nets ‘Big 3’ not the best?

The majority of fans would agree that the Nets have assembled the best trio in the NBA, especially from an offensive standpoint; they have the best three players at their position. With Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden, offense does not get any better than that.

However, the trio that outdid them was from the Minnesota Timberwolves. While these trios did not play together alot, there is good hope for Minnesota to make the most of their youngsters. With eight games together, the Nets ‘Big 3’ has an offensive rating of 119.6 with a 62.8 TS%.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves trio have an offensive rating of 120.9 with 24 games played together. While we aren’t saying they are better than the Nets, there is some serious potential for the Wolves in the coming season. All of Edwards, Russell, and Towns are young stars yet to reach their prime.

Still, there is no doubt that Brooklyn Nets have the upper hand in terms of the best offensive trio. But let us look at the potential that the Timberwolves hold.

Minnesota have some serious talent

Timberwolves went through a barrage of injuries last season. Starting point guard D’Angelo Russell suffered a knee injury and has been out ever since. With him at full health, the Timberwolves sure have a great chance to compete.

Towns is the best shooting big man in the league right now, making 39% of his shots from deep. Moreover, he has great post moves to play like a true big man. Edwards ended up as the runner-up for Rookie of the Year behind Hornets’ LaMelo Ball. He had a great season showcasing his ability to finish at the rim while also having a shooter’s touch.

Before going down, Russell was putting up 19 points per game for the Timberwolves. Due to the injury, he got to show his passing abilities as well averaging almost 6 assists. With all of them yet to fully develop, do you think they can be the best ‘Big 3’ in the coming future?
