Ranking the NBA's all-time rosters (No. 29: Minnesota)

[BleedGopher]

per Axios Sports:



29. Minnesota Timberwolves
Minnesota's trio of absurdly talented bigs is about the only thing keeping them out of dead last, as their .396 lifetime winning percentage is by far the worst of all teams (Clippers, .410). They've made the playoffs just once since 2004, losing 4-1 to the Rockets in 2018 as the eight-seed.

• Year established: 1989
• All-time record: 980-1,496 (.396)
• NBA Championships: 0
• Hall of Famers (indicated by *): 1

Starters:

• Terrell Brandon, G (15.6 pts, 3.5 reb, 8.3 ast, 20.5 PER/23.1 WS)
• Sam Cassell, G (17.2 pts, 3.1 reb, 6.4 ast, 21.4 PER/15.9 WS)
• Wally Szczerbiak, F (15.5 pts, 4.4 reb, 2.7 ast, 16.6 PER/41.0 WS)
• Kevin Love, F (19.2 pts, 12.2 reb, 2.5 ast, 23.2 PER/47.0 WS)
• Kevin Garnett*, C (19.8 pts, 11 reb, 4.3 ast, 23.7 PER/139.8 WS)

Sixth man: Karl-Anthony Towns, F/C (22.7 pts, 11.8 reb, 2.8 ast, 25.1 PER/50.4 WS)

Bench:

• Tom Gugliotta, F (18.2 pts, 8.5 reb, 3.8 ast, 18.5 PER/19.0 WS)
• Ricky Rubio, G (10.3 pts, 4.2 reb, 8.5 ast, 16.2 PER/23.2 WS)
• Sam Mitchell, F (9.5 pts, 4 reb, 1.2 ast, 12.7 PER/32.9 WS)

• Christian Laettner, F (17.2 pts, 8.1 reb, 3.2 ast, 17.4 PER/19.0 WS)

Notes:

• Garnett's one of the best ever, any way you slice it. His 22.66 PER ranks 30th, while his 191.42 WS ranks ninth. He's one of six players to win at least four rebounding titles, and he did it in four straight years (2004-07).
• Love's 31 point, 31 rebound game in 2010 was the first 30-30 game since Moses Malone in 1982, and it's happened just one other time since (Dwight Howard, 2018).

Howl Wolves!!
