Karl-Anthony Towns will eventually return, and the Minnesota Timberwolves will have to figure out a way to reintegrate the three-time All-Star on the fly. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) explains why the Wolves might just be better equipped to handle adding Towns to the mix now than they were at the beginning of the season. Plus, how will head coach Chris Finch manage his rotation with a fully-healthy roster, and which players currently in the rotation are most likely to see minute reductions?

First!!!!!!
2nd😁
How come we don't play the rookies? Moore makes more than Naz and Nowell! It's absurd paying someone more on the bench!
Ant and Kyrie are going to have a shootout at the All Star game. I think they will both go in there and put on a show for the fans. If Ant is hot he might go for 40.
I think Towns will come back with a chip on his shoulder and there will be hell to pay for players trying to stop him. I think he will come in focused and hitting shots. Just going to take him a while to get his conditioning and his legs under him. Might not get the lift renounding or blocking shots initially but I think he's really going to show why he is still the best big man on this roster and still top 3 in the league even though they start him at forward. Best shooting big man of all time y'all must of forgot. I look for Kat and Ant to avg 55-60 the rest of the year with both of them having a couple big games. I hope Ant just stays healthy through the break and maybe he has that magical all star performance that catapults his full black Jesus confidence level as the season closes. Wishful thinking yes. Impossible not even close.
I think you can Kat you stick Kat in the corner when they are sharing the flooring.
Hopefully this time off for KAT has given him to observe the culture change with the team. If he comes back and goes back to his old ways on and off the floor, idk if he should be a part of the teams long term future
I am confident about this group I think Conley is a great floor general and is really not a selfish guy. Great leadership in this locker room.
KAT and Gobert ball movement seemed good, but defensive rotations and transitions both ways were not. Often they would get mixed up on transitions in the paint and it was exploited by opponents.
If ant wants the ball let him be . Kats got the be the secomd guy. Ants gotte be the 1st and 4th quarter guy in order the wolves will be successful.
This is the most consistent piece of content that is put out on the wolves. Ben does a great job. Bravo 👏
Kat is simultaneously our greatest strength and our biggest weakness. If he cant be the great version of himself consistently when he comes back then id like to see what we can get for him
Any concrete update on when KAT will be back?
The team is just built wrong. All the Wolves needed was a real PG who could push the pace and pass and a true backup center. Now we want to give a guy who can get played off the floor max money? And why hasn't Finch played the other centers next to Rudy since thats how the team should be built anyway? Towns at PF has ruined his advantage of being faster with the ball against other centers. Now towns has to go up against the other faster PF. And Rudy is still clogging the lane. Not being near the basket doesn't mean that his defender sticks to him because he knows damn well Rudy is useless 3feet away from the rim.
New to your channel. Always great insights
Stoked to get KAT back. However, replacing Kyle Anderson with KAT does present more issues than you stated…while the lineup with KAT is more dynamic offensively, it does lose a lot in terms of bball IQ, not to mention the defensive regression that would surely happen as well
2 Bs 2 Es cken. Ben you do a good job of making content for the team. I like the way you present the show you have your speil worked out your pausing for break while drinking water thats all cool and you've got that down to a T. I don't know what your total numbers look like but you should be getting more views on youtube. I dont know if thats because its almost the same presentation day in and day out or what. Maybe you could use titles or words in the description to come up on more peoples searches. Just some thoughts because I do like the show. Keep up the good work 2 Bs 2Es CKEN.
Did KAT die? where that motherfucker is?
The same way it was when we started the season, it's not going to well…. Why do we keep thinking things are going to be different every single time…….
