“To become what one is, one must not have the faintest idea what one is.”
– Friedrich Nietzsche
Since the Rudy Gobert trade went down, players and fans alike have been trying to nail down the identity of this Minnesota Timberwolves team. All the off-season chatter was rightfully about making a big man lineup of Karl-Anthony Towns and Gobert fit. We even tried nicknames like “The Twin Cities Towers” or “The Target Centers” on for size.
Then Towns got sick and missed most of training camp, the team struggled early in the season to adjust to new roles, and with KAT getting injured, all predictions about what this team would become were out the window.
