This year's Minnesota Timberwolves' offense will feature one of the league's best screen-and-roll bigs in Rudy Gobert and a fantastic pick-and-roll guard in D'Angelo Russell. The two-man game should be virtually unstoppable -- and that's before considering what Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards will bring to the table. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down the Wolves' dynamic offensive pieces, as well as a few more thoughts on the 2022-23 schedule.

Will Rudy need the ball in his hands too often to stay content? Will his presence in the paint cause Karl-Anthony Towns to have less room to operate? Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) explores those questions, as well as an early schedule preview.
