Comparing the Timberwolves to Each Eighth-Seed

The Timberwolves are on a mission this off-season, and the hiring of Tom Thibodeau has already spoken wonders to which direction the organization is headed in.

Thibodeau, a former NBA Coach of the Year, has already shook things up by firing nine individuals in the front office.

"Milt Newton, the general manager who took the lead after Flip Saunders died from Hodgkin’s lymphoma just before the season began, and Arnie Kander, the sports science guru brought in by Saunders to help address the team’s difficulties in keeping players healthy, were among the most significant names not to be retained."

"Layden also announced that vice president of basketball operations Rob Babcock, assistant coach Sidney Lowe, scouts Milt Barnes and Jason Hervey, director of sports performance Koichi Sato, manager of team travel/facilities coordinator Bill Hohenecker and head of video department and manager of basketball technology Brice Long would not be retained.

In this article, let’s look at it in a different way. When comparing each eighth seed to the Minnesota Timberwolves by position, we may figure out what to fix as well as how they can win more games.
