Pushing the pace has been en vogue in the NBA for some time now. It helps allow for easy buckets, such as lay-ups or open 3-pointers, because the defense does not have time to get set up.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are one of those teams that are looking to speed things up. They also feature two key frontcourt players in Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert, who don’t exactly excel in that style. It leaves Tim Connelly with some interesting questions to ask in the offseason, particularly if Minnesota’s postseason run doesn’t go as they hope.
Moving at a faster pace doesn't suit Gobert or Randle
Trade deadline acquisition Ayo Dosunmu is someone who looks to up the pace.
