25. Minnesota Timberwolves
Starting Five: Ricky Rubio, Kevin Martin, Andrew Wiggins, Kevin Garnett, Karl-Anthony Towns
Starting Five Rating: 15
The Wolves have so much young talent and potential, it’s pretty insane. Though, for this upcoming season, while they may have some of that young talent peppered on their starting five, it’s not enough to get them a high enough ranking.
Minnesota definitely has a bright future, but it unfortunately won’t be reflected on this ranking, which may or may not be one of its flaws. However, on paper, the Wolves just aren’t expected to be that good this season.
That should not be a surprise to anyone.
