Summary

On today’s show, Dane is joined by Jace Frederick from the Pioneer Press to look into the numbers behind the first 14 games of the Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert experiment. Dane and Jace look at how Towns and Gobert have thus far graded out on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball analytically, and discuss how fair those catch-all metrics have been to the still relatively small sample size. Before Jace joins, Dane starts the episode with a solo film review of Kyle Anderson’s recent play. — Kyle Anderson film review — What is going into KAT grading out as a 26th percentile defender thus far this season? — What is going into KAT grading out as a 94th percentile offensive player thus far this season? — What is going into Gobert grading out as a 65th percentile defender thus far this season? — What is going into Gobert grading out as a 66th percentile offensive player thus far this season? — What might crunch time offense look like once the Wolves start finding themselves in crunch time situations Sign up today for a 14-day free trial of Aura’s digital security at Aura.com/Dane Use Code Dane25 to get 25% off- https://trylgc.com/Dane #ad Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	This is Dane Moore NBA podcast brought you by Blue Wire podcast coming at your Wednesday morning, November 16th, the world's play tonight.
0:21.8	So we'll try to make today's show with Jace Frederick from the Pioneer Press.
0:25.1	Not too caught up in the moment because with this team, just in general right now,
0:29.3	every game seems to be kind of sending us in a new direction.
0:33.0	So Jason, I will go a little bit bigger picture today by looking into some of the advanced numbers
0:38.0	behind the first 14 games of the season, specifically for Carl Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert,
0:44.3	some of their advanced numbers.
0:46.0	Hopefully that leads into a conversation about the why behind those numbers.
0:50.6	For example, Gobert's individual defensive grade is down considerably from his
0:56.5	days in Utah. So Jason and I, you know, try to use other numbers and our eye test to cut through

1:08.8	meaningful at all, only 14 games into the season.
1:11.7	But hopefully that leads into an interesting conversation about Kat and Gobert.
1:15.8	That is really a conversation about this whole team and the ways it is and is not working best right now.
1:22.3	But before I bring Jace in solo, I'm going to do a little film review of kyle anderson with
1:29.7	anderson really emerging into a bigger role since returning from his back injury this felt like a
1:35.0	good time to dig into what we're beginning to understand about anderson's game you know
1:40.6	long time listeners will remember uh how when we were doing episodes after every game,
1:46.1	I would pick a forgotten star of the game to focus on for a segment of each of those gamer episodes.
1:52.0	And that's kind of the plan with these little film review sessions this season.
1:55.9	We're going to choose a forgotten star of the week to focus on.
