Rudy Gobert says his main advice to new Timberwolves teammate LaMelo Ball is to slow down in the pick-and-roll, because Gobert's screens will create the advantage. He told Ball to watch clips of his pick-and-rolls with Joe Ingles from their Utah days. Ball joined Minnesota this summer in the trade that sent Naz Reid to Charlotte.

"You can walk." — Rudy Gobert
Fantasy angleBall averaged 20.1 points and 7.1 assists for Charlotte last season. Gobert (10.9 points, 11.5 rebounds, 1.6 blocks on 68.2% shooting) is the screener in the pairing to watch.
