For the vast majority of their existence, save for a few brief occasions, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been mired in mediocrity. The team has not reached the playoffs in the past 12 seasons and has averaged a lowly 27 wins over that period of time. The team has often been bereft of talent or, at least, talent that could develop into anything greater than that suitable for a role player.
However, all of that has changed over the past three seasons. The Wolves have stumbled into a treasure trove of young, high-upside talent that has the franchise and fans drooling at the mouth.
