When you consider that the Minnesota Timberwolves have only made the playoffs nine times in their 30-year history, or only got past the first round in one of those attempts, it’s understandable to see how pessimism radiates easily throughout the fan base. From putrid expansion squads to injury-riddled, mediocre ones, the majority of the barely bearable Wolves teams we hate to love have one thing in common: A deprivation of depth.
You have to step into the Timberwolves time traveling machine and voyage back to the 2011-12 season to find a bench unit that finished the season with a positive net rating.
