The Timberwolves real X-Factor: Bolstering the bench

As the Finals are now over and the draft is just one week away, let’s check in on what the Minnesota Timberwolves can do to improve their bench. This will be very exciting because it might just be the ingredient they need to take the next step.

The Timberwolves were dead last in bench scoring last season with an abysmal 22.8 points per game. To put this in perspective, the 15th best scoring bench, the Phoenix Suns, scored 35.2 points per game and the top bench in the league, the Los Angeles Lakers, averaged 47.1. So the Wolves are way behind everyone else in bench production.
