The timing couldn’t be better because after the Wolves win over the Clippers, they have already tied their win total from last season at 31.

Butler has the Timberwolves currently sitting in 3rd in the Western Conference and looking like one of the more dominant teams in the NBA. Despite all of the other offseason moves and growth of their young core, there is no question that Jimmy Butler is the driving force in the culture change in Minnesota.
The Timberwolves of last year struggled with aspects of the game like defense, hustle, and closing out games in clutch time.
