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?
Depends if the Wolves fans are happy with a few years of relevance. I don’t think their FO did an amazing job building a winning culture but lucked into And and KAT with paying for Gobert with their future.
So if after two or three years they become irrelevant again without even having made a Conference Finals, was it worth it for their fans?
