The Dane Moore NBA Podcast

There had to be some reason the Timberwolves waived Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. Right? Jack Borman (Canis Hoopus) joins the pod to discuss the value of the financial flexibility gained by waiving RHJ and weigh it against the value that will be lost on the floor.

Karl-Anthony Towns gave my favorite postgame interview of his career after the Timberwolves beat the Mavs in the preseason finale. For so long, KAT has noted how the Wolves as a team need to improve defensively, but this was the first time he spoke honestly about his defensive shortcomings. I thought those words were noteworthy, so I play the audio from that interview on the pod and share we I think those words carry weight. Then we get into observations from the game. Anthony Edwards starting to look like a top pick. Jarrett Culver and Josh Okogie becoming a formidable wing duo. Naz Reid cracking the bigs rotation being a sign of things to come. And Jordan McLaughlin signing a two-way contract to return to the Wolves. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jack Borman (Canis Hoopus) joins to discuss where the Timberwolves will rank this season in terms of offensive rating and defensive rating. Outside of last season, the Timberwolves have been in the top-half of the league in offensive rating every year of KAT's career. How high can the presences DLo, Rubio and Beasley elevate the offense this season. And defensively, the Timberwolves have been bottom-ten of the league in terms of defensive efficiency every season of KAT's career. Where does this team's combination of defensive talent and scheme project them to land in the league's defensive hierarchy this season? Learn more about your ad choices.

After watching Ja Morant explode against the Timberwolves in these first two preseason games, it's worth asking how Morant ranks in the league's hierarchy compared to Karl-Anthony Towns. Dane makes the case for why KAT is more likely to have a better 2020-21 season but also why it's closer between the two when we consider the long-term. Additionally, Dane digs into four more observations from the Timberwolves second preseason game. Including: Rondae Hollis-Jefferson's case for cracking the rotation; the lack of offensive synergy thus far; Jarrett Culver's impressive start to the season on both ends; and the commonality between the players that have looked most comfortable in these first two preseason games.

On today's episode, we dive into the Timberwolves big man position(s). For a team that needs to improve defensively in the frontcourt, Gersson Rosas has chosen a non-traditional path in two consecutive offseasons. The power forward position has been an interesting data point to track as Rosas has reshaped the roster -- and will remain fascinating this season. Who does Ryan Saunders decide to give those big man minutes to? Is 6'4" Josh Okogie in the mix? Who else is a power forward? Who is exclusively a KAT backup? And how might this all work out this season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
