The Minnesota Timberwolves have done a lot of work to revamp their roster ahead of next season and improve upon their already impressive, but amidst all of their moves this offseason, they've created a glaring hole in their roster that they need to address. 

While Minnesota has made a big improvement by adding LaMelo Ball to create an impressive backcourt core alongside Anthony Edwards, in the process they had to trade away both Julius Randle and Naz Reid, creating a gap at power forward that needs to be addressed. 

The best way to address that gap would be by signing Jonathan Kuminga, the best power forward left in the free agent market, but they aren't the only team invested in the former Atlanta Hawks four. The Los Angeles Lakers have also been in a hot pursuit for Kuminga and based on recent reports, the Lakers seem to be nearing a deal that would bring Kuming over to the Purple and Gold. 

This is a major issue for the Timberwolves and even if they aren't fully out of the running for Kuminga, it would be prudent for them to to have a Plan B in mind in case that Kuminga does end up signing elsewhere, though the existing market beyond Kuminga doesn't present them with a lot of options. 

Outside of Kuminga, the two best free agent options would either be Kelly Olynyk and Maxi Kleber, two power forwards with plenty of experience in the league, if not the most impressive numbers.

Either of these two signings, although they would be affordable, wouldn't be the best long-term solutions for what stands out as a lasting positional deficit. The best solution for the Timberwolves' problem and one that, while it would take a bit of an investment in development for the Timberwolves, would grant them a power forward for a long time, would be signing former Miami Heat forward Keshad Johnson. 

Johnson has played two seasons with the Heat, splitting time between the NBA and the G-League, and with an increase in his usage last season Johnson averaged 4.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.5 steals per game. 

Putting their faith in Johnson as a starter, which would be a major step up in his responsibilities from the last two seasons, is risky, but it's also an investment in the Timberwolves' future by snagging a young power forward that can build up his career with the Timberwolves along a talented roster. 

Obviously, signing Kuminga would be the most ideal situation, but if that isn't going to be an option, signing Johnson would be a long-term solution that would solve Minnesota's power forward problem for the time being, and in the process the Timberwolves could unlock Johnson's potential and secure their power forward of the future.
