These Aren’t the Old Minnesota Timberwolves…

- The Minnesota Timberwolves are the BEST DEFENSE IN THE NBA to start the season, due in large part to Rudy Gobert returning to the DPOY-caliber form that we saw him reach with the Utah Jazz.
But even outside of just Gobert's defensive return to form, the emergence of Jaden McDaniels as one of the best defenders in the entire league and Anthony Edwards finally taking that leap defensively has catapulted them into a defensive juggernaut. The Timberwolves defense is what really sets them apart from the rest of the NBA right now.
Last year, they the Timberwolves had to navigate the injury to Karl-Anthony Towns, the Mike Conley trade, and various injuries near the postseason to Jaden McDaniels and Naz Reid.
But now, the fully-realized version of the Wolves is here, and it's scary.

What seed will the Timberwolves finish as this season? 👇
Gobert actually now has competent perimeter defenders on his team, unlike the Jazz, especially during that Clippers-Jazz series in 2021.
This is the first time in almost 20 years that I've been confident about the Timberwolves team defense
Shout out Mike Conley for being a perfect stabilizing presence for this team
Hoping they don't rush trading away kat. They just need to be contented on the roster right now as they need kat's offensive threat so edwards can shine.
A lot of people have been knocking KAT for "regressing" or "fading" so far this season. To me, it seems like he's taking a backseat to allow the team to flourish. Yes, he's the franchise player, but if taking a reduced role is working, who is he to get in the way of that?
AlexHoops Timberwolves propaganda let’s go
Ant Edwards is one of my favorite players in the NBA he's so fun to watch he's box office, great video 🔥🎥
Since their inception, I’ve been a Twolves fan and watch and listen to a lot of content. I’ve never watched one of Alex’s analysis of teams and he did one of the best jobs of explaining why the Wolves defense has been so dominant this season. Jaden McDaniels is also one of the primary reason the Wolves defense has been solid. He’s often given the assignment of defending opposing teams top offensive wing player. I’m estimating the Wolves will finish in either the 3rd of 4th spot in the Western Conference. However, if they can continue to be the best defense in the NBA, avoid significant injuries and improve offensively they could win the Western Conference. Now, if the reverse is true, they could end up winning fewer games.
Vote Naz Reid for president 2024
Love that your shining light on the wolves,we appreciate you alex
what's even scarier is that towns hasn't really found his offensive footing yet but he is bought in as a defender
Great video Alex Ants been getting better and better
finally us wolves fans get some content lol
Despite it being late the Twolves are finally living up to expectations
High key been waiting for this
As a sixers fan only team that I think are legit is the wolves and nuggets
Im now cautiously optimistic about us making a run in the playoffs
This team is so dope and fun to watch. Jaiden and ant protecting the perimeter and kat and gobert are protecting the paint. Naz Reed for six man.
I did not expect this after the first three games where we went 1-2 and lost two close games to average teams
