The Minnesota Timberwolves are 36-25 at the All-Star break. Let’s assign a grade to each player for the unofficial first half of season.

The Timberwolves are on pace to make the playoffs for the first time since 2003-04, and even have two players that will be going to the All-Star Game — the first time they’ve been able to accomplish that feat since 2004 when they had Kevin Garnett and Sam Cassell. Karl-Anthony Towns and Jimmy Butler will represent Minnesota on Sunday night as part of Team Curry.

It’s been a long time coming and it looks like brighter days are upon us. Minnesota has Towns and Andrew Wiggins, who they are counting on to be the stars of the team over the next five years. But for now, let’s just take the time to simply enjoy a season in which the Wolves are winning games.

We’re at the All-Star break and the Wolves are winning games. It’s a great time to be a fan. And while we have a week’s long break with no Timberwolves games, let’s take a look at each individual player on the roster and how they’ve performed to this point.
