Heading into the summer of 2022, the Minnesota Timberwolves had some glaring issues that needed to be fixed pronto. Minnesota was out-rebounded in five of the team's six games against the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. Along with that, the Timberwolves had issues containing the paint all season long with their front-court of Karl-Anthony Towns and Jarred Vanderbilt — both of whom stood under 7-feet tall. In a league that kept getting smaller and smaller, the Wolves were a team that needed to add size to their roster in order to become a ball club capable of getting out of the first round.
