6. Minnesota Timberwolves

By: Lucas Kochevar

      The Minnesota Timberwolves made some very nice moves this off season and they look like a truly dangerous team. The Twolves are a couple months into the season now and they are really clicking as Jimmy Butler has established his role as the leader and Karl-Anthony Towns has done a great job backing him up. The Timberwolves are currently one of the few teams that I believe has a shot at Golden State if they are healthy and follow Jimmy Butler. This is their projected starting lineup.

PG: Jeff Teague
SG: Jimmy Butler
SF: Andrew Wiggins
PF: Taj Gibson
C: Karl-Anthony

6th Man: Jamal Crawford

     Minnesota made a great move by getting a sold starting PG that can score pretty regularly. Teague provides a stability at PG that they have been lacking for a couple of years. SG is Jimmy Butler, who they traded for. Butler should provide the right amount of scoring and defense that makes the Wolves very hard to guard. Andrew Wiggins is at SF. Wiggins still has a ways to go defensively, but he is very good scorer. His three pointer needs work as it is inconsistent, but he is a decent starter for them. PF is Taj Gibson. Gibson has been one of the best rebounding PF for a couple of years and he is a consistent player as you know what you are getting from him night in and night out. Center is KAT. KAT is a stud, young center. He can do basically anything you ask him and some. He is the total package and should be great for years to come.
