Is a reliable 3D backcourt player, the Timberwolves does not have the ability to play a more important role?

In a previous NBA playoff Western Conference Finals G4, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves who played at home 128-126. After this game, the Thunder widened the total score of the series to 3-1, and had already won the match point of this round of series; while the Timberwolves would encounter huge trouble, they were already on the edge of the cliff with one foot.

In this game, although the Timberwolves lost the game, the team's substitute backcourt player Donte DiVincenzo performed quite well. Divincenzo played 28 minutes and 20 seconds in the game, made 7 of 11 shots, 5 of 8 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 21 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. He also had 2 turnovers and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -7. Divincenzo showed his due shooting ability on the offensive end, and he also hit a large number of three-pointers, providing a lot of help and support to the team. Divincenzo also has certain characteristics in passing and organizing offense, and his performance on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition. Divincenzo's performance in this game also proves that he is a reliable 3D type backcourt player. Unfortunately, the performance of other players of the team is indeed not very good, and Divincenzo's efforts cannot help the team turn the situation around.

In the NBA regular season this season, Divincenzo played a total of 62 games due to injuries in 82 games, averaging 25.9 minutes per game, averaging 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.3 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. He shot 42.2%, three-point shooting percentage 39.7%, and free throw shooting percentage 77.8%. In the playoffs, Divincenzo averaged 25.4 minutes in the first 14 games, with averaging 8.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 1.9 turnovers and 3.1 fouls. He shot 36.1%, three-point shooting percentage 31%, and free throw shooting percentage 76.9%.

In fact, Divincenzo's performance during the playoffs was very disappointing. His offensive efficiency was a mess, and his performance outside the three-point line was also unsatisfactory. Even though he performed quite well on the defensive end, he had a huge negative impact on the team on the offensive end. However, in this game, Divincenzo's performance really made everyone's eyes shine. Divincenzo is indeed a reliable 3D type backcourt player. Under the influence of limited responsibilities, he is indeed capable of playing such a role on both offense and defense. I don’t know how the Timberwolves will arrange Divinchenzo’s playing time and his role on the court in the next game.
