Projected Starting Five: Ricky Rubio, Zach LaVine, Andrew Wiggins, Karl-Anthony TownsGorgui Dieng

Ah, the NBA’s most exciting young team. The Minnesota Timberwolves have the league’s best young core in Zach LaVine, Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns – oh, and that’s just in their starting lineup.

Ricky Rubio, the team’s starting point guard, still leaves a lot to be desired in his game, but the hope is that this is finally the year that it all begins to click.

For the Wolves, though, the center position is a real issue. For now, we list Gorgui Dieng as the starter. Though, that could change by the time the start of the season arrives.
