Timberwolves got a nice little core. Too bad them dudes can’t stay healthy

Too bad none of them can't play any semblance of defense. That's their biggest issue really.

Towns can't protect the rim and their guards can't stop anyone from getting there.

T'Wolves should think about Towns playing PF.

How bad is his perimeter defense?

He started out playing PF when he was drafted, but he's better suited at C. He's defense is inconsistent and I think it's because there's no one on the team to hold any of those dudes accountable. One of the biggest problems holding the team back is that his offense and passing isn't all wordly enough to help compensate for his lack of rim protector like Jokic. He doesn't have to be All-NBA at it, but at least be above average.

I know they really want John Collins to run the 4, but that's only going to end up being another defensive liability on the floor.

John Collins is probably going to be a bad move. He is going to want to be paid a lot of money.

If the T'Wolves pay Collins, that will probably put them over the cap (due to paying D'Angelo and Towns along with Collins).

I see the fit offensively, but it only makes their defense worse.

Depending on where they fall in the draft and if they keep their pick, DLo might be the odd man out in the starting rotation. Problem is, KAT might not be happy about it and you aren't going to find someone to take on his contract without attaching picks into the deal.
