It’s true, Wolves thought they can use Gobert as replacement to KAT then acquire more good core team to capitalize on KAT value.
As we can see, it’s pretty clear now that Gobert isn’t making a big impact for the team, while Randle’s contribution is also limited. So maybe next season, they’ll have to make some adjustments, possibly trading either Randle or Gobert, if they can.
For now, their chances of coming back in the series are looking slim, unless Ant goes full beast mode in every game moving forward.
