At the start of the NBA offseason, it was hard to imagine how the Timberwolves could make themselves better given their lack of high draft picks and a looming salary crunch.
For roughly the same price as the contracts of Kyle Anderson and Monte Morris, free agents who departed the Wolves, they added No. 8 pick Rob Dillingham (after a draft night trade with the Spurs), No. 27 pick Terrence Shannon Jr. and veteran Joe Ingles. What they lost in veteran stability and defensive acumen they more than made up for in youthful upside, pace and shot-making ability.
