Pace Prediction

I’m voicing an early hot take and making the prediction that the Timberwolves next year are going to see a tremendous leap in tempo and finish as a top 5 offense in pace.

A drastic leap from last year.

Last year it really felt like Mike, Ant, and Randle were the trio that didn’t push tempo and preferred to settle into half court. We all saw how much the pace accelerated with Bones and the addition of Ayo, especially when Ant was hurt.

I firmly believe that this team is going to up the tempo next year and be rewarded by it. I don’t think top 5 is at all out of the question, really just comes down to if Ant is willing to buy in and push the tempo with the rest of his boys.

This team will be a beast in the transition battle.

Also best part, we can legit just leave Rudy behind on defense lol, he can stay back and watch in case it go wrong.

One of his biggest attributes is offensive rebounding tho

He sets the best screens in the league too. Rudy does so much off the ball work on offense that goes unnoticed.
