Less than 18 months ago, Jarrett Culver was seen as one of the pillars of the Minnesota Timberwolves‘ efforts to rebuild the franchise. Now, after a rough rookie season led to a disastrous sophomore campaign, he’s on the outside looking in.
For a team flush with young talent and its sights set on competing for a playoff spot in the near future, Culver’s role with the team is in question. His name was mentioned in almost every trade scenario around the trade deadline as he fell more and more out of the regular rotation before missing the final 14 games of the season with an ankle injury.
