Minnesota Timberwolves: One thing Jarrett Culver should focus on this offseason

The Minnesota Timberwolves selected Jarrett Culver with the No. 6 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.

To pick Culver, they had to move up from the No. 11 spot by trading away Dario Saric. The plan was cleary to either select Darius Garland or Culver. Once the Cleveland Cavaliers picked Garland, Minnesota grabbed Texas Tech's Culver.

Culver's rookie season was absolutely an up-and-down campaign. As a high lottery pick coming off of an appearance in the NCAA championship game -- played in Minneapolis, no less -- expectations were understandably high, especially after he performed well in the preseason.
