2.  Wally Szczerbiak

A former All-Star and fan favorite is one of the best three-point shooters in franchise history. In 2001, Wally led the team in three-point percentage during his lone All-Star season while shooting 45.5 percent from deep.

Wally shot an average of 40.4 percent from deep over the course of his seven seasons with the Timberwolves. During the 2003-04 season in which the Timberwolves made it to the Western Conference Finals, Szczerbiak shot a blistering 43.5 percent from deep.

In addition to having some crazy statistical years, Szczerbiak made his fame with a consistent scoring presence alongside Kevin Garnett. Whether it was starting or coming off of the bench as a sixth-man, Szczerbiak made his presence known on the court.

Wally went on to post a career thre-point shooting percentage of 40.6 while playing over a decade in the NBA. After leaving the Timberwolves, he bounced around from the Celtics, SuperSonics, and Cavaliers before calling it quits.

Wally Szcerbiak is one of the better all-around players in franchise history and it comes as no surprise that he would be near the top of this list. Hopefully, the front office looks to retire his number along with Kevin Garnett when the time comes.

The number-one spot, however, goes to a guy that shared the floor with both Wally and KG for a few years.
