5. Anthony Morrow

Anthony Morrow is one of the sharpest of sharpshooters in the NBA, having knocked down 41.7 percent of his career 3-point attempts.

He’s shot over 40 percent from downtown an amazing five times in his career, and at 31 years old, he still has a lot left in the tank.

After having a down year with the Oklahoma City Thunder, he was moved around the trade deadline as part of the Taj Gibson deal.

He only played in nine games for the Bulls after that but knocked down 42.9 percent of his 3-point attempts.

This familiarity with Jimmy Butler might help entice the sharpshooter to join his former teammate, however brief, in Minnesota.

Morrow would play sparingly with the Timberwolves but provides them with something the currently lack on their bench, outside shooting.

The Georgia Tech product knows his role and plays it perfectly. He doesn’t try to do too much which is a good thing for a role player.

In order to keep this positive we won’t talk about his defense but just know that their’s no “D” in Anthony Morrow.

The shooting guard would also likely come to Minnesota on a veteran’s minimum, making him even more attractive to Tom Thibodeau.
