As we flip the calendar towards 2017 with 33 games in the books, now is the perfect to take a look at how each player has impacted the Timberwolves thus far this season.
Let’s talk about some of the positive and negative aspects of each Timberwolves player’s game while taking a deeper look at their contributions from a numbers standpoint.
