22. Minnesota Timberwolves

Backcourt: Zach LaVine & Kevin Martin

The Timberwolves may be a young team, but Kevin Martin gives them a veteran presence in the lineup. He still has the potential to give you 20-plus points a game with his great outside shooting on any given night.

If he can pick up the art of defense this season and stay healthy, the Wolves could be exciting. In addition, Zach LaVine has transformed himself into more than just a dunker. Last season, with Ricky Rubio injured, LaVine was forced into major minutes and did not disappoint. If he can get his turnovers down, he is the point guard of the future for the Wolves.
