20. Minnesota Timberwolves (27-30)
It might be surprising to see the Minnesota Timberwolves at No. 20, which is pretty much where they’ve been all season long. What am I trying to say with this, well it’s simply the fact that this team really hasn’t missed a beat since the departure of Jimmy Butler.
And at the NBA All-Star break, it’s hard to deny the fact that this will be remembered as the season that the Wolves started from scratch all over. This is the season that they fired Tom Thibodeau and essentially wasn’t a couple of seasons.
In the end, they only had Butler, who they hoped would be the leader that the talented young core of Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns needed to get them to the ents level, for one season. It was a glaring misstep to hire Thibs, and now they’re left picking up the pieces.
