Minnesota Timberwolves are one of the worst-performing franchises in the NBA. The Minneapolis-based franchise has won just one division title in its 32-year history. In fact, they went through a 14-year playoff drought, which they broke in 2018. However, they lost to the Rockets in the first round itself. Their best-ever season remains 2003-04 NBA season when they reached the Conference Finals for the first and last time.

The Wolves finished 13th in the Western Conference last season and 4th in the Northwest Division. They posted a 23-49 record last season with a win% of .319. Glen Taylor has owned the Wolves for a long time now. He oversaw the golden years of the Wolves during the Kevin Garnett era. But since then, the Wolves have performed under par.

With a poor 2020-21 season, many would have expected Glen to shell out some bucks to add quality to the team’s roster. But the Wolves were rather quiet during the off-season.

Incoming players

Patrick Beverley

A top-quality addition to their roster, Patrick Beverley is one of the best defenders in the NBA. Beverley showed his importance last season in the playoffs for the Clippers. He is a three-time NBA-Defensive Team member and comes to Minneapolis in top form.
