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?

Now just imagine Walker Kessler playing center instead of Rudy Gobert.

And the defense being just as good.

And the offense better.

And spending $30 million less per year on the center position.

And having several additional good role players.

And having all your future draft picks instead of none of them.

Such a ridiculous take. If we keep Walker he sits behind KAT and Naz. He is nowhere near as good defensively and if we ran him at the 5 and KAT at the 4 like we do now our defense and offense would collapse
