#2: Tony Campbell

Next up: Tony Campbell. Campbell would average 20.6 PPG in his three 3 seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves, including the franchise’s inaugural year of 1989-90.

Campbell was great at using his strength to not only get to the rim, but also create mid-range opportunities for himself. Perhaps the most unique part of Campbell’s game was his ability to work with his back to the basket. He wasn’t the typical come-off-a-screen-and-shoot two-guard.

He would notice mismatches and back down smaller defenders and use nice footwork to score in the post. With a nice soft touch and his ability to use his strength to create shots, he would use that to his advantage to utilize a deadly post fade.

The most impressive thing about Campbell’s game may have been his ability to constantly keep moving to create easy open looks at the rim. It seemed as if he was always in motion during games.

He just had a great way of finding ways to put the ball into the basket, and that’s why he’ll be known as one of the greatest scorers in Wolves history.
