4. Minnesota Timberwolves

Even with the offseason additions of Jimmy Butler and Jeff Teague, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been somewhat overlooked in the crowded Western Conference. But, after the first few weeks of the season, the Wolves are living up to their expectations.

Getting off to an 8-5 start is impressive for this team, and they’re only going to get better throughout the season.

Question is, can they get good enough to compete with the likes of the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors?
