The Minnesota Timberwolves were an impressive offense to begin with heading into this offseason, but after the major additions of LaMelo Ball and Jonathan Kuminga, Minnesota has taken a new as an offensive engine and looking at the roster as it stands especially the projected starting five, the Timberwolves will have a lot of points in their future. 

As pointed out by the Sleeper Timberwolves X account in a recent post, the entire Timberwolves projected starting five will be standing at 6'4 or taller, with star Anthony Edwards somehow being the smallest member of that group. 

The idea that the size of Edwards, who stands out as one of the most athletic players in the NBA at his position, as the floor for the size of Minnesota's starters makes for a potentially scary sight for any opposing offenses. 

Combining that size with the Timberwolves' pace of play and diversity in their scoring threats will be a huge in making Minnesota that much more overwhelming offensively after being one of the best scoring teams in the NBA and paring that wealth of size with their overall shooting abilities, Minnesota could be the flat-out best scoring team in the NBA next season. 

Size is more critical than ever in the Western Conference. Each of the top tree teams in the Western Conference have a prominent big man on their roster. The San Antonio Spurs have Victor Wembanyama, the Oklahoma City Thunder have Chet Holmgren and the Denver Nuggets have Nikola Jokic and the efforts of Aaron Gordon to rely on.

The Timberwolves already have one big man threat themselves with Rudy Gobert anchoring the defense, but having such a tall team across the board, especially in the back court, is a game-changer for Minnesota. 

The projected lineup in the initial post has Jonathan Kuminga as a starter, which isn't a sure thing at this point, even having Ayo Dosucnmu in the starting five would tie Edwards as the shortest player of five at 6'4. 

As much as pacing and shooting have taken over the NBA of today, putting tall players on the court is an effective and time-honored formula. The Timberwolves will be sticking with that formula while adding the modern aspects of NBA offense that they already excel at, and the result could be enough to put the rest of the conference on their toes. 

The Timberwolves may be the most exciting roster to watch in the NBA next season and with the height of their projected roster being such a factor, the rest of the league itself would do well to watch out.
