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?
But the odds of the 2027 or 2029 picks turning into a top-5 player are very low. People act like top picks always turn into LeBron, but there are a lot more guys like Wiggins and Fultz than like LeBron.
I mean you guys had not one but two top-6 picks 15 years ago in a draft with Steph and didn’t end up with anything to show for it.
High draft picks give a franchise hope but they don’t often turn into championships.
