A piece of news about the 7ft player of the Minnesota Timberwolves caught the attention of the fans just before the Wolves halted their six-game losing streak and got a win against the Denver Nuggets. The aforementioned player who is also a three-time All-Star reportedly caused frustration in the Wolves squad notably because of his turnovers. As the news went viral on social media, the fans quickly reacted to it and flooded the internet with their comments.

The three-time All-Star is none other than the 7ft center, Rudy Gobert, who joined the Wolves in the offseason from the Utah Jazz in a blockbuster deal. NBA insider Brian Windhorst delved deeper into this affair lately in his podcast ‘Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective’.

He said, “They knew that Gobert had limitations. They didn’t expect him to walk in and everything would be perfect. They knew it was going to take some time. But he has really frustrated the fans there and frustrated his teammates because earlier this season, he kept having turnovers. They would run plays, pick-and-rolls for him and the ball would go through his hands.”

Moreover, Windhorst added that he doesn’t have the exact no of turnovers the Stifle Tower missed but for the fans and his teammates it felt like 100. He concluded by saying that this caused frustration in the Wolves’ squad. However, added, “His defense was good, but wasn’t game-changing like they thought.”
