I think every NBA fan knows that Donte DiVincenzo is an elite 3-point shooter. There's no denying that this is true -- DiVincenzo ranks within the top 20 of 3-point attempts and makes. However, I don't think enough people are aware of DiVincenzo's all-around impact. DiVincenzo's counting stats of 13.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 1.3 steals don't truly capture his impact.

The Minnesota Timberwolves guard provides immense value as a connective playmaker, rebounder, hustle player, and disruptive defender. For a team that often lacks energy, DiVincenzo's presence is especially vital.

Shortly before the start of the season, it was announced that DiVincenzo would start in place of veteran Mike Conley.
