LeBron James takes the court to start his 22ndNorth Dakota season in the NBA on Tuesday night at 10 pm ET against Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Those All-Stars may be the headlines, but the stories run deep for this one. JJ Redick is now the head coach of the Lakers. Bronny James is now his father’s teammate in Los Angeles. However, there is another rookie in Los Angeles who can steal all the headlines. Dalton Knecht showed flashes of brilliance in the preseason and has earned a spot in the rotation. Minnesota traded Karl-Anthony Towns, perhaps for future salary cap flexibility or perhaps because the ceiling was too low for this franchise given Towns’ ability. Maybe it was a combination of the two. Regardless, Minnesota enters the season with a new look. The Twin Towers are no more and Anthony Edwards is leading this team after his outstanding performance in last year’s postseason. Can he continue to rise through the ranks of basketball’s elite this season?
