Despite trading for Rudy Gobert, the Minnesota Timberwolves regressed on the glass as a team this season. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) digs into why that happened, and which positions on the floor are most to blame. Which players need to rebound more consistently moving forward, and which roles are most likely to be upgraded with outside help and players who are better in the two areas the Wolves need most: rebounding and outside shooting.

Josh Hart would've been amazing for this team. Unlimited hustle, incredible rebounder not only just for his position, and can also shoot the ball decently well. Unfortunately the Knicks know he's too valuable and won't trade him but I just hope we can get him in a trade package for KAT.
Ads cat 52 games at 8 rebounds per game and were would they rank?
I agree that we need more rebounding. I also wonder though how much of our poor rebounding numbers has to do with Finch wanting us to push pace and run all the time?
at the end of the day, rebounding is a team concept and you can't place blame on one or two players. it's a coaching issue if we continue to see them struggle from last year.
The chemistry only showed up in spurts. It might get better if no trades, but unsure.
Denver is able to exploit that in the playoffs. They are doing the same to PHX so far.
I sense a midseason trade of Mike Conley
Players needed are athletic like McDaniels, Minott, Naz Reid. Long and coordinated.
I think NAW will be back.
No reason to bring Nowell back, he had his chance and blew it.
For me it's rebounding, backup pg,backup forward that can add consistent scoring tp just can't do it could also be a backup scoring pg don't have to be a forward. Think tp should be used as trade bait around the draft gotta free up minutes for minott & Wendell next year
