Why The Minnesota Timberwolves Do The Deal 

If we were the Wolves, and this was on the table, we’d take it and never look back. 

Many would argue that defense is more important at the 5 than anywhere else. A big man who can’t defend leaves his team without a last line of defense. Luckily, the Wolves have got that covered with Gobert. 

With that in mind, Young gives this team a more suitable roster construction. Putting him in pick-and-roll sets with Gobert ought to be unguardable – especially with Anthony Edwards to account for. 

Speaking of Edwards, the Wolves’ poor pace has affected him as much as anybody this season.
