The Minnesota Timberwolves defensive scheme is officially changing under Chris Finch. We saw the early signals of change in the first game after the All-Star break against the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday and saw a whole new level of change against the Portland Trailblazers on Saturday. On today’s pod we get into the breadcrumbs of the change and why it’s important. - The Wolves history of awful team defense in Karl-Anthony Towns’ career - Finch believing a “bend but don’t break” defensive philosophy is not best for this roster (audio included) - Finch’s willingness to use KAT as a perimeter defender and how that shifts the Wolves defensive balance - KAT’s excitement level for doing something defensively he’s always felt he could do but has never been asked to do (audio included) - Juancho Hernangomez and Jaylen Nowell making cases to be a part of the rotation going forward Sign up for Dane's Patreon ($5 a month) at: Patreon.com/DaneMooreNBA Learn more about your ad choices.
