Despite a relatively slow start to the season, it's safe to say that, at roughly the halfway mark in the season, Minnesota Timberwolves rookie Jarrett Culver has thrived in Ryan Saunders system on both ends of the floor.
To this point, Culver is averaging 9.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, two assists and one steal per game.
Sure, Culver is not the flashiest rookie in this year's draft class -- at least not yet. However, his poise around the rim and the ability to create space off the dribble make him a dangerous ball-handler and, suddenly, a true scoring option for the Timberwolves.
