Are the Minnesota Timberwolves about to lead the nba in Lob Dunks?

I’ll preface this by saying they are nowhere near to the lob city clippers or a couple other legendary teams in lobbing ability. But are they the best today?

Lamelo ball is pretty obviously both a top 5 playmaker and lob throwers in the league currently. At bigs he now has Rudy Gobert who’s been top 10 in dunks for the last centry, Joan Beringer and ultra athletic young big who really runs in transition. Along with that he has the wing Kuminga, Jaden, Shannon all good dunkers in their own right with kuminga being a particularly good lob catcher. On top of that I’m sure we will see couple fast break Ant lobs.

A modern day Lob City?

But not a top 100 shooters of all time according to bleacher Report.

After all the offseason moves so far Timberwolves are the 7th youngest team with an average age of 25 while the spurs and thunder are 8th and 9th respectively.

Obviously a few moves probably will still be made.

Looked like easily the most talented player on the court tonight vs the pelicans. The difference between him on and off the court was night and day. He will definitely get rotation minutes for the wolves next year so this is very important for them. But overall he just looked dominant especially on defense he clearly is getting some great mentoring from Rudy Gobert. Even showed off his handle and driving near the end of the game. Should work great with Lamelo due to his lob catching ability. Thanks Pistons and Knicks.
