The 21-year-old also discussed the “good pressure” the Minnesota Timberwolves will be facing this season.
Per Fox Sports:
You guys have this 2011 OKC Thunder vibe to you … everyone knows there’s something special here, but, just how special? Now that the Timberwolves are no longer the “lovable losers” and are a legit dark horse contender,€“ how do you manage the new pressure on your shoulders?
AW: “It’s a good pressure. We got more national TV games, people are watching, expectations are higher. We absolutely love it. That’s what keeps us going. I’m such a competitor that the only thing I want to do is prove that everyone’s expectations are right.”
If you could posterize someone right now, who you dunking on?
AW: “My boy JoJo Embiid from the Sixers. I never got him (as teammates) in college; time to get him now.”
