Minnesota is going to take time to put it together. They're too young and have too many new faces.


i dont think they win 50 games and they have some fit questions. but they are going to be in the playoffs.

the youth thing is overblown. OKC won 50 in Durant's 3rd year. Towns is maybe not that level, but he's incredible. Jimmy Butler is really really good too. some new faces, but Thibs vets on hand too.

Not when 2 of your starters, one of whom is your rim protector, were bottom of the league at their positions in DRPM last season. Butler and Gibson will help, but they are still going to play some bad defenders a lot of minutes in key roles. I expect them to pull it together by the end of the year but I think they'll be bad enough early on that the last 4 spots will be up for grabs heading into the last month of the season. I don't see anyone being good enough to separate from this middle pack.
