In his young five-year career, Edwards has solidified himself as the face of the Wolves. He’s earned three All-Star selections in the last three seasons, and two All-NBA nods in 2024 and 2025. Since the Timberwolves drafted Ant-Man, he has averaged 23.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.2 assists.
Also, Edwards has led the team to four playoff appearances, including two Western Conference finals showings. Despite what he’s achieved, Arenas said that Minnesota’s star guard needs to work on one thing.
Arenas talked about it in the recent edition of his program, “Gil’s Arena.”
“He do have an Achilles heel, and it’s really been annoying for the last months or so,” Arenas said. “It just keeps — every time he gets poppin’, sticks his head out there. You got to get that outside noise under control.
While Edwards’ approach to trash-talking has been highly appreciated by many, Arenas believes that he pays too much attention to the outside noise.
“Every time you jump up there, they jumping with you and if you don’t keep them under control and let them know there’s a bigger picture, this is 18 years and you basically need to shut the f**k up out here in these streets.”

Ahead of the 2025-26 season, the Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert posted a video of him working out. He spent time with basketball content creator, Lethal Shooter. Since being in the NBA, Gobert has often struggled offensively, leading teams to leave him out in most of their offensive schemes.
However, he’s determined to change that narrative starting next season. He shared a video of himself working out with the well-known online celebrity, showcasing his shooting prowess and variety of basketball handling techniques.
“Rudy Gobert is committed to mastering his footwork and learning quicker reads to a smooth rhythm. I’ve been blessed over my career to help Anthony Davis, Domantas Sabonis, Bobby Portis, Dwight Howard etc. Five guys who are dominate from 15ft and in,” the content creator posted.
Fans are looking forward to what Gobert has in store for the next season with his improved scoring production.
