Roster Review | Cole Aldrich

60 games, 5 starts, 5.5 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 1.1 BPG, 59.6 FG%, 71.4 FT%

The Wolves entered the 2016 offseason needing a big who could protect the rim.

Mission accomplished.

And the icing on the cake was that it was a player most Minnesotans are familiar with in former Bloomington-Jefferson star Cole Aldrich.

After bouncing around from Oklahoma City, Houston, Sacramento and New York, Aldrich found his niche last season for a 53-win Los Angeles Clippers team.

Aldrich is a defensive-minded center. He has proof. A scar on his forehead and a removable tooth that he’s not afraid to take out.
