The Minnesota Timberwolves are dominating the NBA so far this season due to the modern twin tower duo of Karl Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert. They have the best defense in the league that is complemented by their efficient offense. Today we discuss how they have been so good together and why this might be the beginning of an important shift.

This reminds me that no one stopped DMC and Davis in NOLA only injury delayed that hype train
They actually give Gobert touches and get him involved on offense, makes him play way better defence. Utah were just using him like bum.
This is a fantastic video. A lot of videos by smaller RUclipsrs will just spit numbers at you, but i love how you went in depth on the proccess behind the numbers. Thanks for giving props to KAT's defense, hes been much improved over the past few years and the national narritive has yet to catch on
Whats scary is thag you never mentioned Naz Reid either. Twolves have 3 solid big men that consistently give teams headaches
This aged very well lol
After hearing all year last year how the Gobert trade was a massive failure and the TWolves had traded their entire franchise away. This is a nice breakdown of the chemistry that has developed. This is a great team to watch this year!
Damn, I haven't really paid close attention to KAT's game like that, he stepped it up a lot. Conley is underrated as well. Kinda unfair that all attention goes to Ant 😅
100% Lifelong Wolves fan here, this is the best I've seen KAT play. It's been an incredible season to watch so far, and I am not used to it. Lol
They still had trouble against the sixers center.☹️
@@hueyang5943because embiid is a monster. Top 2 center in the league. And personally my mvp
Wolves fans know the entire team
The attention goes to ANT because the moment KAT accepted his 2nd role ANT and the wolves took off it showed the team overall is better when they let the offense flow thru Ant instead of kat
They need to make a new "Nevermind" stat. @12:17 in your video. Rudy makes people do this every game disrupting plays, making teams change their called plays on the fly and making offenses lose their minds! Great video. My wolves look great
This video is the best break down on offensive and defensive sets/schemes I've ever seen on youtube. GREAT job,I had to keep watching this video ( multiple times 8/9 times ) Cat has improved vastly since he came in the league,I remember Butler dissing Cat when he played for the Timberwolves.
It’s crazy how this was horrible to being fantastic this year
Not really. We don’t give guys time to gel. Harden to the Clippers was the worst thing in the world, now they’re like 11-4 in their last 15 and everyone’s quiet lol
@@trilliam8806 It's not even that. Last season, KAT was injured and so Gobert was forced to play in the front court with a non-shooter.
@@trilliam880611-5 now bitch
I still think they gave up way too much for Gobert. Plus his contract is too massive imo
@@lalremruatpuiarenthlei4665they say same thing about wiggins as well. They say vice versa in harden to nets. Maybe the basketball community didnt have the patience and to dumb to understand 😂
Naz Reid needs his own video, another big man that can do it all
Can’t rebound worth shit
8:10 Never been a fan of gobert but i think KAT and slow-mo is the only one who like to pass gobert and trust his ability to make something instead of lob only like edwards. Even donovan ignore him in offensive 😂That was something interesting actually to see
Watching him play is frustrating. Even when he has a CLEAR mismatch he doesn’t attack the basket the way everyone else in a 7ft frame does
Mike Conley has played with Rudy flawlessly their pick and roll & alley oops have been very good actually
ok but like at 8:02 it says that at some point Lu Dort was averaging 11.5 rebounds when his career high is 11. i wouldnt put it past daniel to add that in as an easter egg
My guess is the network had a typo and copied the number 😂
but like he had 13 rebounds for the season going into that game. so the type was typing 11.5 instead of 6.5. im leaning towards the daniel easter egg@@dustinbrown3317
Wow this video is INCREDIBLE. SO insightful!! Thank you for breaking this down.
Very well presented and insightful breakdown. It's fun having a team that embraces defense for a change.
it’s all about the fit, they have point guard that doesn’t dominate the ball in conley, avery johnson and fisher also doesn’t dominate the ball in those twin tower teams, guards and forwards are both 3 and D guys
Not even a mention of Mobley and Jarret Allen who figured this system out first and led cleveland to a top 5 defense?
B-bbu-but.. Wolves are the 1st Defense Rating
I mean Cavs currently have the 12th best defense and 20th best offense. Timberwolves currently ranked #1 defense, 16th offense
Who?
13:56 GPjr gpt trucked 😂
Crazy that Embid dropped 51 pts on them lol
Great vid. Well done paced too
Mike Conley Kyle Anderson and Kat showed the team how to find Rudy
All of this youtubers subscribers are nba assistant coaches.
This guy breaks down film better than nori does on wolves live. Great job on this video guy
team is making the pass that leads to the pass that ends up scoring now...there does seem to be a buy in across that roster and KAT has been playing at his best without the weight of the entire franchise on him, he doesnt have to do it all so he can do those little things more often
Double "big" bigs was going out of fashion before the Warriors. The 4 position had gotten a lot smaller, and more wings were playing the position
The warriors ended traditional 4s entirely
This was an excellent documentary Daniel 👏
Cool video to watch before the game tonight! Lots of stuff to watch for
Katt was never a center, he more of pf, or big wing. He's too big for small wings and guards to stop. He they brought in dpoy, that sealed the deal.
I guess Giannis and Brook Lopez are not twin towers material
Edit:
Brook was in the running of DPOY, while being a stretch big who averaged more points than Gobert, and was still capable of being a post scorer. And Giannis is better than KAT. The video just explained having two bigs who were versatile offensively were termed as twin towers.
Oof
Throwback to a week ago when embiid put up 50 on both their heads
Happy that the wolves finally having success. Thanks for making a video about the wolves!
Just hope can go playoff and see how they play.
KAT has underachieved. He's so good at times
He finally has a team around him. He was all Minnesota had his first several years here. Ant and him are 1A & 1B for scoring. Less pressure on him, he’s playing loose
Never clicked faster
All I know is the people who are designing the mid-season tournament courts are on some good drugs.
Dont forget naz ried and another player are over 6 ft 9 on thw wolves.
great video as always
could you talk about the clippers and how did they figure it out after losing 6 in a row?
A video about them is coming next
You should make a video about how Jrue Holiday shut down Dame in the first round in 2016
Awesome video! One question I have is has Rudy Gobert actually improved his mobility or is the system this season just utilizing him better to hide any deficiency? In Utah and the first year of this Minnesota experiment, I heard a lot of people slamming Gobert for being too slow when he wasn’t cemented in the paint but now you are praising him for the same mobility that used to get him into trouble
He’s definitely a lot more mobile this year defensively. Still not so much offensively
He was just as mobile in Utah if not more, especially in his later years there. He did not deserve the hate he got from casual NBA fans.
He hurt his back during international play last year and it really fucked with him most of the season. He was 100% healthy coming into this season and he has his mobility back.
Last season he had a back injury that really hampered his mobility. He's always been quite mobile given his size, but the lack of any backup in Utah meant pulling him away from the paint exposed the rest of their defense. Now he can afford to roam knowing there's an entire squad behind him
I find his confidence attacking the basket way more instinctive than previous seasons. It looks like he's entering in his physical prime and this system starts to be a perfect fit for him. Can't wait to see the playoff mode
T wolves championship season lets go
Great video! Would love to see your insight into another great defensive team: the Celtics!
this is literally 2k19 meta but in real life
Twin towers? Don’t put that evil on them like that 😅 I always thought it was funny KAT plays in the ‘twin cities’ and his last name is Towns. Not just one town but Towns.
Getting rid of DLo helped too. I know he’s KAT’s friend and all, but his undisciplined attitude didn’t help.
and they also have a defensive wing who is around 6'9"-6'10"......
You better start your research about the effiency of three big man playing together. Naz Reid - KAT - Gobert.
Rob Perez found it as +67 while the 3 big man playing together
Its limited minutes but the off eff is like 130 and the def eff is like 70 its insane
WAY too small of a sample size to draw any conclusions from the tall-ball lineup yet.
That all sound a great until Embiid came in and gave them that work! 51 Extra Crispy 🏀
Can you imagine Towns is injured.
If they win it all will this be the new era?
Now if KAT could only play that well in the playoffs...
Was this video made before or after Embiid dropped 51 on them.
crazy
Best team to combat the bigs teams like nuggets and 76ers
Please post more
Love my wolves 🐺
Is rudy always asking for the ball or is that just how he plays?
Naz Reid

It hurts my eyes as someone who knows basketball rules to watch 3:06 yeah I know the famous gather step NBA has, but these are not basketball rules and just ruins the game when everyone takes three steps. Even Murray is like "refs blind"?
Wait till playoffs 😂😂
Great video very informative
🤘
This isn't that new with giannis and brook Lopez in Milwaukee
the giannis brook playstyle is completely different
KAT has been shitting this series against MAVS....dude doesn't have that clutch gene ,at 14 or 16 ppg, he is ofno help, inspite of having more experience than ANT !!§
The TWolves are very successful right now but the media still refuses to hype them like what they have been doing to other overhyped teams. Take out the media and all your overhyped overrated idols are just ordinary. 😛
You have to make a video on Embiid. How much his playmaking has improved and how he dropped 51 on the twin towers and #1 defense even though he could not score at will vs some teams like the celtics last year even though the celtics are not as big
He didn't drop 50 on the twin towers though. He dropped 50 on Kyle Anderson. The refs put Gobert, Towns and Reid on the bench for the night.
The Wolves 3 bigs were all in foul trouble by the end of the 1st quarter, so they basically stopped defending him. You can see by the 2nd quarter, they stopped pressing him because the refs kept blowing the whistle anytime they touched him.
He alone had 17 free throws to the entire Wolves 20.
@@cysec4223He dominated both of them he had 4 fouls himself and so did Maxey stop hating
@@stanleyterrell717it wasn't due to domination, putting 3 players in foul trouble in first quarter is something not even shaq did.
Refs are just handing him freethrows like crazy.
@@gitnjur Your mad he destroyed both them lames,they both had a a combined 5 points in second half.
if those two were the twin towers, uk what klay and steph are xDDDDDDDDDDDDD
SUBSCRIBE YALL!! Great content as usual man, keep it up 💪🏾
Its easy. They just accepted that KAT wasn't their main guy. Ant on the offense and Gobert on defense. Kat was 2nd option for offense (situational). But thats not demotion, thats optimization. They just fit well with this system.
Media talking heads are full of shit.
Lauri and Chet can be better than them
The big man will aslways be able to be the best player. Steph is just different. Cool to see the twin towers being used again and so well.
kobe not top 10 all time
Will never work in the playoffs. Daniel doesn’t know ball
Look at you now. He clearly knows more than you😂😂😂
Bruh don’t call us that it’s a bad omen
It's never a good look to call anything the twin towers anymore. Like .. what tf is this title?
