With the Minnesota Timberwolves’ season completed, let’s take a look back and hand out grades.
The Minnesota Timberwolves 2016-17 season didn’t pan out as many of us had hoped. They finished a disappointing 31-51, giving them the seventh-worst record in the NBA.
The Timberwolves also lost seven out of their eight games and head into the offseason in a slumber.
Eventually, we will look back at this Timberwolves’ season and notice that the right players made the right strides.
Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins proved that they are capable of scoring in large amounts, even when defenses hone on them. They also proved that they can, at the very least, coexist on the court together.
Zach LaVine also took a huge step in his productivity. Tom Thibodeau took him out of the ball-handling role and he seemed to thrive off the ball.
There are more positives to be found, Ricky Rubio for example, but if nothing else Timberwolves’ fans can go into the offseason with their eyes focused on the future.
The Wolves are practically a lock to get another top ten draft pick depending on what happens at the drawing on Tuesday between them and the Knicks.
There will be plenty of time to talk about the offseason and what it brings. For now, let’s look back at the season and hand out grades to each Timberwolves’ player.
