'Too much thinking' makes Timberwolves defense a little clunky

Through their first 10 games, the Timberwolves have talked a lot about how to fix their offense, which has started slow as they integrate Rudy Gobert into it.

The Wolves are also attempting some new things on the defensive end, like deploying multiple coverages depending on whether Gobert is in the game or not.

This can lead to the Wolves doing a lot of thinking when they're on the court. It's something the Wolves are trying to reduce in the name of playing faster.

"Too much thinking, I think, as a group, including myself — for sure myself," guard D'Angelo Russell said.
