The Timberwolves officially launched their 2022-23 season on Monday hosting Media Day at Target Center.

WCCO's Henry Lake was there from noon-3:00 p.m. and talked to several players, coaches and front office staff as the team gets ready to make another playoff run, and hopefully improve upon their success last year.

There are a few new pieces, especially in center and three-time defensive player of the year Rudy Goebert. There are certainly questions with how the Timberwolves will use the big man next to Karl-Anthony Towns. Two seven footers is a rarity in today's NBA to be sure.
