Timberwolves have no choice but to live with Rudy Gobert dilemma

Amid a 10-7 start to the season, and back-to-back late-game collapses, there is plenty of confusion around the Minnesota Timberwolves. Likewise, I don't think there's not a more confusing player on the Timberwolves (and perhaps even the league) than Rudy Gobert. That's not to say he's a bad player, by any means, but rather the difference between his defense and offense is one of the widest gaps in the league.

With Rudy on the court, Minnesota's defense is elite; in fact, their 106.1 defensive rating (per Cleaning the Glass) with Gobert translates to the second-best DRTG in the league.
