If talent were distributed equally among the 30 teams in the NBA, each squad would have a little more than three players on any top 100 list.
This preseason, the Minnesota Timberwolves have landed four players on Sports Illustrated’s Top 100 list. That’s compared to five on last year’s list, but still more than longtime Wolves fans are probably used to seeing on ranking such as this.
This year, the Wolves lost Taj Gibson (No. 83 on last year’s list) and Jimmy Butler (No. 10 last year) from the list, but found themselves with a new entry.
