The Minnesota Timberwolves need another scorer.
The Jimmy Butler trade with the 76ers returned Robert Covington and Dario Saric, the former of whom doesn’t create his own shot and the latter who is generally more comfortable spotting up or catching in the post.
Supposed cornerstone Andrew Wiggins recently suffered through his first career shutout, going 0-for-12 Saturday against the Bulls, but luckily Karl-Anthony Towns and Derrick Rose picked up the slack as the Wolves won.
However, if the Wolves want to make the playoffs and build off of last year, they will need to add another volume playmaker who can draw defenses, penetrate the rim, and kick it out to the open shooter.
