The Minnesota Timberwolves entered the year with three natural point guards in the rotation: starter Jeff Teague, sixth-man Derrick Rose, and Minnesota’s favorite son, Tyus Jones.
Then, the Timberwolves acquired veteran Jerryd Bayless in the Jimmy Butler trade, and the Wolves suddenly had four NBA-caliber point guards.
But all four point guards were afflicted with significant injuries throughout the year. Teague played in a career-low 42 games, Rose played in 51, Bayless in 34, and Jones in 68 contests due to a sprained ankle suffered in Philadelphia in mid-January.
