The Minnesota Timberwolves have had a solid season, making a real run towards the NBA Playoffs. They currently sit in seventh place in the Western Conference with a 31-28 record.

Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards are both playing at a high level, guiding the Timberwolves to a great season thus far. KAT is averaging 24.4 points, 9.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists per game. He has also improved defensively, blocking 1.1 blocks per outing.

Towns has also emerged as the greatest shooting big man of all time after winning the Three-Point Shootout in NBA All-Star Weekend. He is shooting 52.2% from the field and 40.9% from behind the arc. He is tough to stop and will be pivotal in their playoff push.

Edwards has been the other key player, as he's having a strong second season. He is averaging 21.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per contest. He has improved his efficiency and defense, making him an integral part to the Timberwolves' success.

While Towns and Edwards are the star duo, they will need reinforcements to make a real postseason run. With that said, here is the Timberwolves player with the most to prove after the 2022 All-Star break.

Malik Beasley

Beasley has been somewhat of a disappointment this season, with a decrease in the majority of his numbers. Although he isn't a star, his role is to be a great sixth man for the Timberwolves. Beasley is averaging just 11.9 points per game while shooting 37.5% from the field and 35.3% from long range.

His inconsistency and low efficiency have lowered his value immensely. The 25-year-old guard is in the second year of a four-year, $60 million deal and is playing below expectations.

If Beasley doesn't pick up his play, he could be dealt to another team in the offseason. The Timberwolves are turning into a playoff team, and players who don't perform could be moved.

The Timberwolves lack defensive wings with height to guard players like LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, and Paul George in the Western Conference. The Timberwolves could meet these guys in the NBA Playoffs over the next few seasons.

Beasley has the talent to get back on track, and the All-Star break can do him good. Last season, he averaged 19.6 points per game while shooting 44.0% from the field and 39.9% from behind the arc. He has showcased the ability to be a great scorer and just needs to make some adjustments. A big one would be to simply let the game come to him rather than forcing the issue.

Beasley seems to be forcing up shots, which has led to his inconsistent and inefficient play. To improve, Beasley doesn't need to return to averaging around 20 points per game but rather shoot at a higher clip. He can play more relaxed with great scorers on the roster already in Towns, Edwards, and D'Angelo Russell.

Russell has played well this season, averaging 18.8 points and 7.0 assists per game. Because of the former All-Star guard, Beasley has seen his minutes get cut even more.

The Timberwolves have a tough road ahead to make some noise in the NBA Playoffs. The Western Conference has multiple elite teams that can eliminate them early. If Beasley doesn't step up, they are bound to be taken out quickly.

Michael Beasley has a ton to prove to solidify his spot on the roster for the future.
