Without KAT, how does this team compare to Utah last year?

Comparisons between Rudy's two teams were naturally brought up when the trade happened. A lot of people tried to say that the rosters were mostly equal if you don't even consider KAT. Well... now we have no choice but to see what this team looks like without KAT for at least a stretch. Can the Wolves just copy the Utah blueprint that saw Gobert and Mitchell lead them to high-playoff seeds year after year?

Before the year started, I was hopeful that the KAT-Gobert pair would give us resilience to injuries.Gobert goes down? Just play like we did last year and make it work, try not to lose too many games.KAT goes down? Just play Jazz-ball with Rudy; it's shown to win a lot of regular season games.Now though, having seen the first quarter of the season, I don't think our team is there in terms of IQ and chemistry to play Jazz ball.

It'll be interesting to see how the KAT-less Wolves compare to Jazz teams of the past 4 years or so. Obviously we shouldn't expect them to be as good as the 1 seed Jazz, but how quickly can they copy the Jazz playbook? How effective can they be at it? Should they even focus on that, or should they be trying something else?
