How does Kyle Anderson’s departure impact the Timberwolves most + Wolves’ three-center lineup
With Kyle Anderson gone, which players will be impacted most in the Minnesota Timberwolves rotation, and how will head coach Chris Finch fill those minutes? Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) dives into how Joe Ingles may be able to fill Anderson’s shoes, and what his time with Rudy Gobert and the Utah Jazz could give us a peak into what Finch has in mind. Also, what the numbers say about the Wolves’ center rotation from last season, including the vaunted three-center lineup.

We have made a calculated decision to up our offense flexibility at the expense of our defense. I love what Kyle Anderson did. If he wasn't as expensive as he is, I'm sure he would still be with the club. I think Dilly and Shannon get quite a bit of run. Perhaps Leonard Miller or Minott, but I actually think the rookies will play more than either of them. Neither Miller nor MInott can duplicate what Anderson did, but the rooks I think are more likely to create a really powerful second unit scoring-wise. Naz, Dilly, Shannon, Ingles, NAW and either KAT, Rudy, or Ant filling it in transition time. We will have to teach the second unit to play better defense.
BTW, I am afraid that Ingles may be washed. I know you are positive about him, but I doubt he will be anywhere near the factor that Anderson was. I hope I am wrong.
I'd rather have a Naz, Naw and Towns on the team rather than Rudy. I'll never understand the thinking of the talk about trading Towns before Rudy.Kat will maintain more value over time.
