I believe that MIN have enough high level shooters in Reid, Edwards, DDV and hopefully Dillingham. And as team MIN are already in top5 in both 3PT made and 3PT%. My hope is that our FO can find a bigman who can be a defensive minded Padawan for jedi Rudy Gobert, just like Andrew Bogut was for young Draymond Green. I think that it starts in practices, where level of physicality and defensive attention should be on top.
We don’t have the coach. We don’t have offensive scheme. We don’t have the defensive scheme. We don’t gang rebound. We don’t play with the pace of a small ball team.
Well, if I use starter/bench filter I can see that MIN starters are top4 in REB and the best(!!!) in OREB, in comparison bench unit is the worst(!!!) in OREB, 27th in REB. So rather than blaming everything and everyone, I prefer to identify issues so that these issues can be defined as realistic goals. So rather than saying MIN are bad at rebounding:
1) MIN dont have backup bigman who can rebound and protect the rim
2) right now MIN best bench players are guards: NAW, Dillingham, Clark and TJ. It means that bench unit often plays three guard lineup (read undersized lineup)
Can MIN improve this? Sure, but this is task for FO. Miller and Minott are not ready. Wait for draft night, FA market. Bring size at С and wings, these are doable goals.
