Last season was not one to remember for the Minnesota Timberwolves. While many of their very talented young stars did take another step forward in their development, the T-Wolves ended up missing out on the playoffs by ten wins.
They lost their last six games and one of their star players, Zach LaVine, suffered a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury in his left knee. Without LaVine’s skill with the three-point shot and ability to draw out defenders, other team stars such as Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins struggled to operate with as much efficiency at times.
