The Timberwolves have been blessed with one of the best passers in the game the past several years in Ricky Rubio. But you may be surprised that he’s not the career assist leader in franchise history.

It looks as if the dog days are finally over as the Timberwolves are on the cusp of greatness. No one can deny that the best years happened during the Kevin Garnett era. He’s the guy who brought the Wolves to the playoffs every year — they didn’t call him “Big Ticket” for nothing.

A lot of the names on this list are players that many, or most have heard of, and maybe even had the privilege to watch all these players on this list.

The Timberwolves have Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins now, and it appears that they will be looking to rewrite the history of this franchise and break a few records along the way.

Wolves history would look a lot different if players stayed with the Wolves. It’s hard to latch onto players because it seems as if you start feeling comfortable with players, they leave the team. So a lot of these stats would undoubtedly be different if these players stuck around. But of course, that’s just the “what-if” game that Minnesota mastered in.
