Minnesota sports won all the 2020 draft by far Anthony Edwards Krill Kaprizov I know he wasn’t drafted but he was a rookie in 2020 and then Justin Jefferson of course
It almost seemed too perfect that all of these SUPER STARS ⭐️ came to us all at the same time!
Ant has a shot at being a superstar. Hope he doesn't outgrow the Wolves.
@@usa91787 He will stay here as long as the team wants him to... I don't think he wants to ever leave. At least I hope not!
I think Christian Darrisaw should at least be an honorable mention
That's so TRUE!! He's a top 5 Tackle in the NFL. Excellent point!
Darrisaw is 50-50 imo
exactly what i was thinking.
What about Matt body and Joel errikson ek
YESSIRR
buxton not even as an hournereable mention is wild
I am rooting for him to make the 2025 list! hah
Dude needs to go, can’t stay healthy, time to move on
Duran’s entrance gives me chills every time 🥶
SAME!! Especially during a night game 🧊 🔥
@@MinnesotaSportsNow I had the opportunity to go to the night game when we beat the Blue Jays in the playoffs!
WOW!!!! Now that’s AMAZING 🔥🔥🔥
I love the fact that, as a minnesotan, I already KNEW who #1 was gonna be. It was just a matter of who #2 - #10 were gonna be
Hah yeah JJ at number 1 seems pretty obvious to most 😅
@@MinnesotaSportsNow just surprised you didn't mention Byron Buxton
@@Ghostmann2he got traded right?
@SirStazian no he's with the twins
@@Ghostmann2 oh it was Palanco we traded, nvm
Thanks for putting this out.
Sometimes, it gets a little depressing as a Minnesota sports fan being that it's been a bit of a dry spell for good teams and having more than one good player on each team.
Things could be finally turning around.
Yeah it's tough out there sometimes, but I feel like the future is very bright! ✨
Thank you for watching ! 😀
Definitely does a good job highlighting just how on the up the Twins and Timberwolves are.
Why thank you so much!! Appreciate the support!
Great video, great list. AND a himym reference. Dope.
HAHA! Thank you so much for watching and your support! The HIMYM reference was too perfect not to put in there LOL
can't wait for the wild future. boldy, rossi, kaprizov, wallstedt. khusnutdinov, ohgren, faber, lambos. man that pool is loaded.
Agreed! They just need some time to get that team chemistry and they will be very fun to watch !
Erikson - Ek.
Yurov & Heidt
Heidt and yurov and peart too
@@notmelll2746 Can’t believe I forgot them too, unbelievable pool.
Banger I would love to see more videos like this in the future 🔥
You can bet on it 😎
Great video man! I really hope this channel blows up so we get more of these bangers. Also ek should probably be in the top 10, or at least an honorable mention whenever he’s on the ice he’s winning face offs and always making an impact.
Appreciate the support!! I'm loving all the great feedback I've been getting and you can expect more video content soon!
Yeah right when I finished editing the video I regretted not putting Ek in the honorable mentions category... He's such an underrated player on the Wild.
@@MinnesotaSportsNow looking forward to it! And it’s gotta be a bitch to narrow down all the great players in Minnesota we have right now. It’s a good time to be a Minnesota sports fan!
Genuinely excited for the future of MN sports, between the players that are the stars of today, and the prospects that will be graduating to the majors soon (Yurov, Wallstedt, Brooks Lee, and whichever QB the Vikings draft). Great video by the way!
The future is really looking bright for once 🤩 !! It's so exciting to see the youth that we have coming up and making an early impact on MN Sports 😊
Also thank you for the kind words! Means a lot seeing the love and support!
Great video!
Why thank you!! I'm happy you enjoyed it!
I personally would have put Ek for the Wild in the number 10 spot over Hock. Ek has been criminally underrated in the NHL he is one of the best two way centers and when he is hurt (like right now) the team suffers greatly. Even on the Vikings I would be temped to say Darrisaw is better than Hock. Dont get me wrong Hock is great and I'm super happy he is on MN but I would probably have him at 12.
Ek is very much underrated!! He should’ve been at least an honorable mention. Very good point, and thank you for watching 😁
Boldly over Eker
Boldy is just a little too hot and cold for me (he is still young). When Boldy is on his game he is better than Ek but when he is not on its game it hurts. Ek is also insane on the PK. I still would never want to trade Boldy, Ek, Kaprizov or Faber from MN.
Also ek in the face off circle is actually nuts. When he’s in the game it seems like the wild always win the face off battle. He’s literally top ten in that regard.
Great list, someone mentioned Darrisaw and that was a great point. I'd also have Royce a bit lower because his sample size is so small I don't think he's proven that he's better that he's better than Jhoan but again great list overall
Thank you for the compliments! Means a lot to me. Yeah Royce was just too fun to watch last year and I really do think he’s going to jump up my list for next year! Darrisaw I really feel I need in at least honorable mentions for sure.
good video good sound quality, the only thing I recommend is compressing or limiting so you don't peak as often.
Thank you! Trying to improve with mic quality as much as possible 😅
I thought this was someone who had hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Great video love it
Hah thank you !! I appreciate the kind words. Maybe one day I'll reach that milestone haha 🤣
I'm glad you enjoyed the content !
Ant will be number one the next time this video is made imo. At the end of the day, it’s AMAZING to have this much talent in Minnesota. Jettas, Ant and Kaprizov have the potential to be LEGENDS-like streets named after them type guys.
So much hype for these guys!! ANT can totally climb this list to be number 1!!
Great video
Thank you so much!! That means a lot!!
What about Boldy?(totally not being biased because I met him)
Also hopefully all the teams do good this year, keep up the great work!
Yeah Boldy is just on that boarder-line probably should’ve been an honorable mention but he’s very up and down in consistency. I hope he can keep playing how he’s been lately though!
Thank you for watching and the support 💜 It means a lot to me!
Keep up the good work!
Thank you!!! I have my idea for the next one that I think you're really going to like 👀
@@MinnesotaSportsNow your welcome 🤗
Pretty accurate list, in my opinion. I might disagree with Krill up so high, but I understand that he is really good. Loved the video!
Kirill I put up so high because of his superstar status and how dominant he can be when fully healthy. This season he’s been very good and keeping the team’s limited playoff chances close to alive. Long story short I really don’t know how I could justify putting Kirill below 3 🤣🤣
Thank you for watching and commenting!! I love having these kinds of discussions! :)
The only way one would disagree with kirill being that high is if you do not follow hockey. He's better at hockey than Ant is at basketball.
Our top 3 guys are so incredible that there is a real argument that they could all be number 1.
JJETTAS #18 is unstoppable when healthy, he breaks records and makes new ones, he even surpassed the legendary Randy Moss if you haven’t heard ever ever since day one. Blud is unreal, even Randy Moss applauded him. I hope jets never leaves and retires a Viking.
SAME! Yeah JJ is insane the more you look at his stats the more you are just WOW'd by him! I hope he is a Viking for life!
great video
Thank you very much for the kind words!! I very much appreciate it !:)
Honestly gets me thinking about watching the Twins this year because of last year 😅
They're a fun team to watch!! They got some young guys that are going to keep this team good for a long time.
I subbed also Hunter was snubbed from at least the snubbed list he had 16.5 sacks
If Hunter was still on the Vikings he would have 100% made this list!
Ok@@MinnesotaSportsNow
Also Jaden Mcdaniels I think I would have put him over towns but yea @@MinnesotaSportsNow
I love Minnesota
Same!
Not having fleury as an hm is kinda nuts. While he has been dealing with injuries recently, he has still had an HOF career and continues to impress many
He was someone I thought of putting on here for sure because of his HOF career, but it ultimately came down to how they are performing as of right now and not so much what they've done throughout their career. If it was for their entire career Fleury is probably the number 1 player we would have.
Bro good list Minnesota fan my self cool
Thank you!! Appreciate the kind words and support. It truly means a lot!
I would say that Harrison Smith and Josh Metellus definitely deserve at least an honorable mention for how important they are for our defense.
Both are ELITE at what they do. Metellus is so sneaky good being basically the "do everything" player for the team and The Hitman is still playing some great football. Both of these guys definitely deserve some praise here.
a little sad to not see the loons/mnufc, our mls team here, weve got some great talents on the team right now like teemu pukki and emmanuel reynoso
I've heard we've got some amazing players on those teams. I am pretty much a dedicated channel to the Wild, Twins, Wolves and Vikings unfortunately right now, but maybe down the road I can try and add more MN teams to the mix! Thank you for watching 💜
Awesome
Oh hey thanks Aaron!!
I Love the content
Thank you brother!! That means a lot ‼️
@MinnesotaSportsNow no problem brother.. you have a new subscriber
Well thank you so much!! I very much appreciate the support!
@MinnesotaSportsNow I'm a everyday viewer of purple daily and would love to get into podcasting
no ek is crazy, he hits all my parlays 💀
Yeah I really needed Ek on there as at least an honorable mention.... ever since I made this video he's been red hot! Yesterday was a good example of that haha
Edouard Julien deserves at least an honorable mention, kid is a stud
Eddie is so good!! I want to see him improve against left handed pitchers this season. He got a hit off a lefty yesterday though 👀👀
I’d give Joel Eriksson Ek honorable mention at least. Does a bit of everything for the Wild
He is FANTASTIC and you are correct should be an honorable mention. He's so underrated.
Kirill over edwards, they honestly are probably tied but just because of the sports they play, kirill is way more important to the Wild
Definitely an argument! Kirill ANT and JJ are all just top tier players in their sports. We sure are insanely lucky!! 🍀
I feel like ek should be an honorable mention
Totally!! Ever since I’ve made this video I feel like he’s been the best player on the team 😅😅
Need some Minnesota United! Emmanuel Reynoso I would recommend. Were undefeated so far this season
That's amazing they are undefeated! Hopefully things keep going good for our soccer squad! 💪
I would have Darrisaw at least an honorable mention he’s a top 5 LT in the league
True... He's so good. Should've at least made the honorable mentions for sure.
I would put Lewis over Correa and towns tbh he's gonna be a stud might even pass Edward's too I'd also take Kaprizov over ant as well
Lewis is so much fun to watch ! For me it was just because of how small of a sample size we have for him to this point. Kaprizov, ANT and JJ are basically in that same tier of superstar players at their sport, you could truly make an argument for any of them to be number 1.
I'm shocked Christian Darrisaw didn't even make honorable mentions. Not the flashiest position, but he would've made my top 10
Yeahhhhh… hindsight he really should be on this list. For sure one of the best guys we’ve got!
Brock Faber is such a God send
No kidding!! He's been so much fun to watch this season.
Ant is #1 now and it’s not even close
Stay tuned for next years list 👀
Faber is coming for this list next year 👀
I would bet on it 👀
I think Edwards provides more than Jefferson is put Edwards above Jefferson. But solid ranking for sure. Darrisaw honorable mention. Wow no really Defensive players from Vikings.
Yeah there's a real argument for 1 and 2 there for ANT and JJ. I went with JJ because he's making history in his sport... but maybe ANT can make some history 👀
CD is someone I think should have been at least an honorable mention yeah... That dude is a monster.
The only defensive player I think could've made the list was Hunter... but he's not on the Vikings anymore. Harrison Smith should have probably gotten an honorable mention the more I think about it though.
Don’t forget about Jaden McDaniels. He was a steal in the 2020 draft.
Jaden has been heating up lately!! Love seeing him progress
can you do all time next?
Oh that could get spicy 👀
Ant man making a case to be number 1 soon! Minnesota sports are looking up and I'm loving it.
He really is! He's playing out of his mind right now and stepping up his play even more since KAT went down.
MOE !!! MORE !! MORE !!!!!!!!!!!
Working on the next video now 👀
You should include Minnesota United! Reynoso is as good as anybody in MLS.
If I knew anything about soccer I totally would 🤣
@@MinnesotaSportsNow Jump on the MN United bandwagon. I also barely knew anything about soccer a few years ago and it's now my favorite sport to watch
7:44 the reason Correa took the “break” was cause his plantar “broke” which was good and they decided it was best to just rest him mostly because the division was already a lock otherwise. He could have came back for the last week of the season
Yes correct!
What about the top 10 in the history of these organizations?
This list would be insanely tough to dwindle down to 10... but that video will eventually get made! Haha
Did you do no buxton because he’s been to injured
Yeah… it was that mixed with his off year last season. I really hope he makes my list next year 🙏🙏🙏
Can you do San Francisco I’m a fan and I think it’s a really really hard choice between curry and cmc
Hah sorry this page is dedicated to Minnesota Sports 😅
But I think I would have CMC higher than Curry at this stage of their career in 2024
I was expecting Harrison smith he has been in purple and gold for over 10 years playing under 3 different HC and 2 gms
Harrison is definitely in consideration for all time but as of right now he isn’t on the top 10 list at this stage of his career unfortunately:/
If you guys dont watch the timberwolves it is an awesome time to start
They're so fun to watch!
I think Boldy after the last two seasons deserved an HM
Thats just one man's opinion though
Boldy is very very good! Probably should be an HM, but he is very up and down in consistent play which is why he wasn’t on the list this year.
@@MinnesotaSportsNow understandable
I feel like tj should be higher up
Yeah that’s totally valid! He was a huge contributor when JJ and Kirk went down. Provides good spark for the offense. I hope he recovers soon and is on the field close to the start to the regular season.
There’s a cool video out there he’s doing some squats in the weight room, so there is definitely signs he is recovering well !!
justin is better at his respective position, ant does more for his team tho considering there are less players to lean on
Perfectly stated!! 👍
What's about Byron Buxton
His 2023 was just so brutal… but… I do think if he’s fully healthy he’s a top 5 MN Sports player !
Kirill is #1
It is definitely a debate between our top 3 for sure!
Fucking crazy how are pitching went for terrible to fuckin crazy
RIGHT!? Went from unwatchable to must see TV within a season! lol
What about burin buxin
If he stays healthy and plays like he has been he will make the list next season 👀
Correa too high, but otherwise love the list
Thanks!! Appreciate you watching and the comment!!
Heartbroken since 1969
Preach... lol
Buxton no honorable mention?? I don’t follow hockey but I think Pablo is 3. Royce is better the Correa as Correa was underwhelming this year
Buxton was just so hurt last year… it was hard not having him on this list, but I hope that changes for next year !
I still think Kaprizov is a bit better than Pablo, but they’re both elite!
Royce and Correa were back and forth and ultimately I went Correa one spot higher just because of how he ended the year and his overall leadership. Lewis will climb the list though I am sure of it!
@@MinnesotaSportsNow it’s very hard comparing different players let alone players from different sports
Too true!!@@Susbus69
I love Jefferson, Why cant Minnesota be good....?
We will get there some dayyyyy 🥲
@@MinnesotaSportsNowi played as jordan addison in madden 24, he was 95 overall superstar xfactor, and we still had jefferson and t.hock, and we couldnt even make the playoffs
@@CTPGaming34 Madden I think hates the Vikings too much and gives too much love to the Cowboys... 😆
As a Minnesota Vikings fan this 2024-2025 season is not going to be exciting no Kirko no hockenson till week 4
Yeah the expectations aren't as high as they have been... it really depends on who they identify in the draft as their QB of the future and if they are going to make an impact immediately. If they can get their version of CJ Stroud, this team is going to be real good.
Naz Reid
NAZ REID!
Im on rudy goebert rn. If jj and ae arent tied at #1 then you are wrong!
Good call 😅
idk man i think naz reid should replace carlos correa
Very interesting take, Naz has been playing some INCREDIBLE basketball lately when KAT went down. Correa just has the superstar pedigree and was great in the post-season. I knew Naz had to be an honorable mention!
Thank you for watching!!
Ngl I’d put JEEK over Hock
Ooooo that's an interesting take. Honestly I should have made Ek an honorable mention for sure. He has been so dominant since I finished making this video especially 😆
Can Buxton be a hm
He sure can be! Last season was just so disappointing for him... but he's had an INCREDIBLE spring training! Byron Buxton Bounceback 2024 season!! 🤞
you ignore MLS and overlook Caden Clark and Devin Padelford
You are 1 out 2 people he has not replied too. How does this make you feel?
Hah I didn't mean to! The MLS wasn't on my criteria for the list unfortunately..
Lol you're funny 😆
Errickson Ek
Oh he for sure should have been an honorable mention here... you are absolutely right!
I tthink Rudy > KAT
Both play such different roles… Rudy definitely is playing some of his best basketball ever. KAT being hurt doesn’t help his case at all. But I can definitely see the argument for Rudy over KAT
No BBux.. even a hm?😢
So wish he was... but I had to make cuts somewhere... When healthy he is a top 5 player in Minnesota!
@@MinnesotaSportsNow true
Royce Lewis should have been further down on the list
You are 1 out 2 people he has not replied too. How does this make you feel?
Royce's sample size was just too small at this stage of his career but... if he stays healthy and keeps playing like he has he will climb the list!
I was gettttttinnnggggg to it!! lol
Miny soda know how to draft
We sure know how to pick em!
ANT 1, JJ 2
I had them back and forth at 1 and 2. Right now JJ has the awards and historic numbers at his position, but ANT is probably more valuable to his team as a whole... It's a true 1A and 1B. A good problem to have for Minnesota Sports ! Hah
Who’s ant
Anthony Edwards@@DeathCon666
Yea sorry can’t agree here
I would have Ant at number 1 over JJ. The reason why is that with Ant I have belief that the Twolves can win any game, that Ant can be the best player on the court even with the likes of Jokic and Luka. I know it’s a different sport but I just don’t get that feeling with JJ. JJ is the best at his position but at his position I don’t think he can single handedly win Vikings games the way Ant can single handedly win games for the wolves.
That's a very good point... I found it so difficult making the list because of the fact that a basketball players impact can single handedly make a team better overall. Football is more of a team sport for sure. I guess it came down to Justin Jefferson breaking so many records so early on in his career. Truly though I went back and forth between the two of them.
Thank you for watching and commenting 😀 !
Edwards should be one bro. JJ is nice, very nice, but he won't ever be the NFL MVP... Edwards is on his way to being the best player in the league.
They're both so close that it was very tough to decide 1 and 2 there... It was ultimately just how many records JJ has broken at his position this early in his career. It's very close though!
How the heck is it half baseball players when the team wasnt even that good. Should be more wolves players. Gobert being that low is bad, hes about to win DPOY and is easily better than towns
The team had one of the best seasons in a long time and breaking their postseason losing streak. They are definitely deserving of being in the spots that they’re in. Rudy could be higher I can totally see that argument.
Even though we don’t agree, I do appreciate you watching and commenting! 💜
my dude only watches baseball lmao
Tried to keep all the sports as fair as possible. In total I mentioned 4 Twins, 4 Wolves, 3 Vikings and 3 Wild Players. Some honorable mentions, but I tried to be as fair as possible with the current state of Minnesota Sports.
Too bad Jefferson is probably getting traded..
We will see lol...
The twins suck you got half of these guys twins towns ant Gobert all better not to mention the Vikings players you missed
The Twins have some REAL good players. I should’ve had Darrisaw and probably Harrison Smith in my honorable mentions for sure.
Jared surgeon sucks he shouldn’t even be in top 50
Hah fair. Agree to disagree 🤣😅
Wish you included soccer 😢 guess you not a true Minnesotant
I dedicate so much of my time to the Vikings, Wild, Twins and Timberwolves it’s hard to follow much more then that 😅
@@MinnesotaSportsNow I understand it’s so hard to keep up with everything 😂
@@MinnesotaSportsNow but if you do include one from mn United it’s got to be Emanuel Reynoso
