The Timberwolves are building a roster that can contend around Rudy Gobert — with a backup plan

The Timberwolves made big news the last couple of days.

In a mild surprise, they re-signed talented big man Naz Reid, giving them a chance to have one of the best frontcourts in basketball.

In a larger surprise, on Monday, their top draft pick, Leonard Miller, made NBA history by calling the Timberwolves "Prestigious.''

Who knew?

Miller was 1 year old — 1 — and living in Canada the last time the Timberwolves won a playoff series.

Miller made the comment in the Target Center lobby on Monday, as the Prestigious Timberwolves introduced their two 2023 draft picks, the 6-foot-10 Miller and UCLA guard Jaylen Clark.
