It is yet another lost season for the Timberwolves. What began as a promising start with Andrew Wiggins looking like a superstar morphed into the Wolves trading away the former No. 1 overall pick for All-Star D’Angelo Russell to team with his buddy, Karl-Anthony Towns.
As the Wolves gear up for next season, there is one glaring improvement that they must make if they want to become a playoff team: KAT needs to play defense.
Towns currently ranks 405 of 513 players in NBA.com's defensive win shares, and has an awful 115.4 defensive rating. That means a starting lineup of five Towns would yield 115 points to any opponent.
