The Minnesota Timberwolves have three starting-caliber centers, and head coach Chris Finch has done a strong job mixing and matching to start the season.

Plus, two things the Wolves can do immediately to take a large step in the right direction when it comes to correcting their offensive efficiency. Lastly, a preview of Wolves-Pelicans and a peek ahead at a tough upcoming schedule.

The term "Starting Caliber" is doing a lot of work here when it comes to Naz. If Naz had to start at the 5 for this team and go up against the Jokic's of the world it would not be pretty. He will always be able to get his on the offensive end but Naz is not a rim protector or guy who is going to out rebound bigger 5's. Naz is at his best when he plays alongside Rudy or Kat or coming off the bench to face smaller lineups.
