Does MINN move DLo by the deadline? Need a wing cuz KAT and Gogurt are food in the pnr come playoff time. :sick:
Unlikely.

But say they did, they’d be a lot worse as a team. He’s the best fit on the team with Gobert. And will likely be the most positive impact offensive player on the team because of it. Not best, but most impactful.

Perimeter defense is gonna have to come from Ant and Jaden McDaniels. Ant taking the leap will require him to use his strength on defense. And Jaden has to grow into being a disruptive defender across positions.

But for reference the team has the 4th best DRtg when Gobert is on the court, 21st when he’s not. 15th overall.

Defense will be well above average if they can figure out communication. So far they fell in the same trap that Utah did. Because Gobert is an all-time defender, they get lazy thinking he will clean up everything. He can’t and he won’t be able to. Getting comfortable with communication, familiarity etc will change a lot.
 
Wood putting up numbers was easy as hell to predict. I don’t know if it’s gonna translate to postseason success or anything like that, but the numbers will be there.
 
Rooting for Mirjam Poterbin
Let's hope she can connect with Jamie Spears and keep that fat kid of hers in check
