As he was about to enter the offseason last May, Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said one of the biggest things he had to figure out over the summer was how best to utilize Karl-Anthony Towns in pick and roll coverage.
Before making those stylistic changes, Finch had to see what the roster was going to look like around Towns before landing on how the Wolves were going to operate, and how they would improve on their 28th rated defense from a season ago.
Former President Gersson Rosas didn't do too much to bulk up the power forward position but he did bring in Patrick Beverley, who has long been one of the best defensive players in the NBA.
