Taurean Prince

The Wolves forward has been a crucial veteran presence in the locker room, but also a highly volatile player with too much shooting responsibility on his ...

However, while Prince has shown he’s not the answer, he certainly isn’t a bad piece to have around and I, for one, hope that he can finally return to his smorgasbord of skills instead of being pigeon holed as a shooter. He is simply a symptom of a team that has done whatever the opposite of placing a premium on shooting. Said shooting is vital to a team that needs spacing for the drives of Anthony Edwards, the floaters of Mike Conley, and the dunks of Rudy Gobert. Unfortunately for Prince, the answer may come in a trade. After trading Russell for Mike Conley, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and a couple of second-round picks, the Wolves are left with a team that lacks shooting. A large majority of those missed contests come from a 20 game injury that lasted from late November to early January, during which the Wolves went a staggering 7-13, but Prince missed a stretch of four games in late January and another two in late February.
