Just like teammate Tyus Jones, new Timberwolves center Cole Aldrich is a Minnesota native.
Aldrich had a three-year career at the University of Kansas, where he won a national championship in 2008. While in college, he never lost a home game, with his squads going 55-0 over his three years.
He was a high school All-American and heavily recruited by colleges around the country. Cole was drafted 11th-overall in 2010 by the New Orleans Hornets. Since then, he has bounced around from team-to-team.
Aldrich has played for the Thunder, Rockets, Kings, Knicks, and Clippers, in that order.
