With all of the talent that the Minnesota Timberwolves already have, a star defender would push them into title contention.
Karl-Anthony Towns, Zach LaVine, and Andrew Wiggins will provide the team with firepower on offense.
However, they still need a strong wing defender in addition to the versatile Wiggins.
Shabazz Muhammad hopes to be that asset.
According to Jace Frederick of TwinCities.com, Muhammad is ready to hone his defensive skills.
“I really want to learn how to get better on the defensive end,” said Muhammad, who often is tasked with guarding Andrew Wiggins in practice. “I think if I can do that, the sky’s the limit for myself. And that’s what coach is telling me about. He’s skillful in that position, and that’s something I’m going to really soak in.”
Because of Tom Thibodeau’s expertise on the defensive end, his dream can certainly become a reality.
A starting five containing three of the brightest young talents in the league in addition to a defensive minded wing would be more than difficult for any team in the league to stop.
