When it comes to the value of an offseason signing, it’s hard to beat what Taj Gibson did for the Wolves.
Gibson helped the Wolves reach their goal – a postseason appearance. And while doing that, he had the best season of his NBA career.
He averaged the most points of his career since 2013-14 while averaging a career-high 7.1 rebounds per game. He also shot a scorching 57.7 percent from the field, which was not only a career high, but also ranked sixth in the entire league.
