This is why they traded rudy gobert. He’s very good for a rookie
Grizzlies gave this man away for nothing
Will this type of work last???
Already better than Gobert 😂😂
The Wolves got fleeeeecedddd😂😂
Traditional Bigs are Coming Back in the Modern NBA him and Jarrett Allen are Fun to Watch
The Wolves could've had a lineup of Conley, Ant, JMac, KAT, and Kessler. And still have a bench lineup of Vando, Beasley, SlowMo, Naz Reid, and Prince.
He can run and move for a big man. Some easy buckets but some because he was aggressive and running.
Can he do the Kessler run in less than 12 parsecs?
Did they do this when Keegan Murray scored 30?
Walker Kessler is easily on of my favorite players
Great game but also wanted to shout out Olynyk – those dimes were on point
To think he was a throw-away player in the Rudy Gobert deal now he’s scoring twice what rudy ever could
Better than gobert
Biggest underrated sleeper in the draft. This kid will go to 4-5 allstar games and make all defensive first team several times. Great pick
Good job big man stay strong and lile this for next year..
Sky is the limit for Walker Kessler
kesslercarrer high 31
Eto yung kinucompare kay kai sotto ng mga bobong peenoise fans. Bakit daw to na draft si kai hindi mga bobo talaga.
I will be surprised if Kessler is not, at least, considered for the All-Defensive Teams. He is a future DPOY. Can't wait to see how his offensive game comes along, too.
That is. My brother. Name😮
Minnesota Timberwolves are so dumb
FIRST IT WAS STEPHEN CURRY AND NOW WALKER KESSLER?!
Minnesota fans better kick on ice for trading this man.
My birthday
A a jazz fan, he's been incredible! Hi D is great, but it is not the most important part of his game, Gobert was and All-Time defender (objectively) but he was so frustrating on O with his terrible hands and zero body control and he became unplayable because he couldn't punish small ball teams. Walker has the potential to be as good a defender as gobert, but already is twice the player on the other side of the ball. Steal.
Damn the wolves look dumber by the way 😂
