Image via WikipediaThere's three players at every position. I like this roster much more than last years. The biggest substantial difference is the depth, athleticism, size and overall talent.
Yes there's no true franchise player on this roster, but Johnson, Beasley and, Love all have potential to be leaders. Regardless, this roster should be twice as good as last seasons.
Because Love will be the center of it all. While he won't be averaging 20 points and 14 rebounds, because of his ability to rebound, outlet pass and pass within the triangle, the offense will move much smoother. But scoring wasn't the problem for the Timberwolves last season, it was defense, defense, defense.
Minnesota was the worst defensive team in the league. The problems started at the wing positions. If you put Johnson and Beasley out, that makes for some weakside shot blocking and steals. Put out Brewer and Martell and watch them disrupt the passing lanes and weakside shot block.
We could go forever. The fact of the matter is, as long as the offense is run through Love, and Johnson can do what he did in college, there's no reason as to why the Wolves will prove some doubters wrong.
