Know The Opponent: The Minnesota Timberwolves

After the 1994-95 NBA season, the Washington Bullets faced a crossroads. The team had been sub-par going on 15 years, ever since the days of Elvin Hayes, Wes Unseld and Bobby “Greyhound” Dandridge. The ‘95 campaign ended with the Bullets having two obvious strengths and one glaring hole. Their frontcourt was stacked between Chris Webber and Juwan Howard, both only 21. Their starting point guard was Scott Skiles, who was 30. Skiles led the Bullets in win shares that year, but with the Fab Two in tow, it was obvious the future belonged to the young. Washington needed its new era floor general.
