The Timberwolves now sit at 13-4, the current #1 seed in the Western Conference, almost 1/4 through the season.

Rudy Gobert defensive rating: 102.3 (#1 in the league)

KAT defensive rating: 104 (#2 in the league this year / averaged 109 historically)

Timberwolves: 106.6 (#1 in the league)

If they make the finals this year; are we still saying it was an overpay?

Unless they win the championship, 5 first-round picks for Rudy Gobert is an overpay.

I doubt those 5 picks would yield better results than having Rudy for the next 5 years.

Every GM in the league would take Kessler on a rookie deal over Gobert on a near supermax. And that was just 1/10th of what you gave up. Lmao the twolves cannot even keep this team together because it would cost too much.
