Their defense is crazy good this season. They also have held their opponents to the lowest field goal percentage and lowest 3 point percentage at 41.6% and 31.3% respectively.
And while player defensive rating is not the best stat, it is still interesting to note that among players with at least 20mpg this season, the Timberwolves have 6 players in the Top 10 player defensive rating.
Gobert might have a shot at another DPOY, if they continue their defensive dominance and if the narrative allows for it.

They get exposed in the playoffs tho. We seen this before when Rudy was on the Jazz.
I hope they prove the doubters wrong tho
