Minnesota Timberwolves: Ranking the decade's No. 1 overall picks by potential

The Minnesota Timberwolves were fortunate in acquiring the young talents of Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns. (Also, Anthony Bennett. More on him shortly.)

However the aforementioned duo never really turned into what Minnesota faithful were hoping -- at least not together. New president of basketball operations Gersson Rosas understood the difference in playing style between the two and eventually traded Wiggins for D'Angelo Russell, the second-overall pick in the 2015 draft and a better fit with Towns.

There is plenty of star power across the last 10 years of first-overall picks, so let's rank these players based on their potential for the next decade.
