Minnesota Timberwolves: Who’s up and who’s down? A review of Tom Thibodeau and the starting five’s performance.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are 35-24 which means they’ve completed about 70 percent of the season. This is a two-part series and the first will be focused on the starters and the second on the bench players.

President of Basketball Operations Tom Thibodeau built this team and it’s a good time to evaluate the performance of the players he assembled to coach.

I’ve compared career averages for the number of minutes played, points scored, assists and rebounds with this seasons numbers for each player.
