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?

    Don’t know how much more patient you can be because Utah would have just kept Gobert.

    This is my opinion too. Utah wasn’t going to let him go without an “overpay.” Minnesota knew they were “overpaying.” It was a matter of believing in your move and paying the asking price.

    In other words, it may be above market value, but they aren’t stupid and didn’t get duped. They knew what they were doing. Only time will tell if they were right.
