Rudy Gobert hasn't looked himself through two games, and at 33, there's reason for concern.
The Minnesota Timberwolves' second game of the season was a disappointing 128-100 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. While the problems of this game were multifaceted, defense was the clear flaw in my mind. Minnesota posted an abysmal 137.6 defensive rating (144.8 in non-garbage-time minutes). Luka Donu010diu0107 dropped 49 points, and there was little resistance.
How does this tie into Rudy Gobert? I'm not going to sit here and solely blame Rudy; doing so would be beyond foolish.
