Minnesota Timberwolves

Wishlist: Perimeter Shooting 

The T-wolves haven’t been the young superstar team a lot of people expected right out of the gate. It’s way too early to panic, however. Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns have been a solid duo and have shown they can be very productive with each other on the court at the same time.

Tom Thibodeau is known for working his players extremely hard and maximizing their minutes played. Having said this, Minnesota has to make sure they’re deep enough to be able to run their players into the ground and last for an 82 game season.

The T-Wolves are getting a perimeter shooter to come off the bench this Christmas!

With Ricky Rubio, Zach LaVine, and Kris Dunn rotating at the PG and SG positions, it would be nice to have a straight shooter to be able to come in and knock down open threes while also giving these guys a much needed rest. Think about having a Kyle Korver/ Eric Gordon type player to plug in and not rely on heavily, but still have the confidence to let it fly from deep at a 40% and above clip.
