In years past, we’ve spent a lot of time talking ourselves into being fans of Minnesota Timberwolves players who really didn’t deserve meaningful NBA minutes. It’s a sad statement, but one I think we could probably mostly agree on. There have just been some dark times in terms of bench pieces in the Twin Cities recently. Looking at you, Treveon Graham (I know he started for a while, but nonetheless).
While it’s still too early to know for sure, on paper, this Timberwolves roster looks like it should be different. I’m not saying this is a team that’s loaded with top-end talent and should contend for a top-4 seed in the West, but bench units should be more tolerable this year for a variety of reason.
