The wolves might have a historically good defense.
Rudy obviously wasn’t himself last year. I was worried it may have just been either a straight up decline or him needing a system catered to him, but the back injuries seem like the obvious answer now. His athleticism is night and day from last year. Back problems for 7 footers are no joke.
We never had a great (or for most part even good) cast of perimeter defenders around Rudy, and we still had amazing defenses. Their ceiling with McDaniels and Edwards hounding guards is scary.
