Fans of every team in the NBA can talk about wishing their team had drafted a different guy, or what could have been if they drafted the right guy. The Minnesota Timberwolves aren’t alone in this phenomenon, at least.

But, until your team has passed on six MVP award-winners, 30 All-NBA team members, 37 All-Star appearances, three Defensive Player of the Year awards, 13 All-Defensive team awards, 10 league statistical leaders, a Sixth Man of the Year, and nine All-Rookie team appearances … you can’t really complain.
