Is This The Year Minnesota’s Bench Produces?

The Timberwolves reserves have left a whole lot to be desired since the 2013-14 season,

Whether the bench unit featured point guards like JJ Barea and Mo Williams, wings like Corey Brewer and Chase Budinger, or bigs like Adreian Payne and Anthony Bennett, it has been mostly a horror show.

In those five seasons, the Wolves’ bench brigade never finished in the top half of the NBA in net rating. In fact, the 2016-17 campaign was the only one where they finished outside the bottom 10 teams in the league.
