Minnesota Timberwolves: 10 wing options in free agency

10. Corey Brewer and Arron Afflalo

We’ll go ahead and start with a cop-out at No. 10. Let’s just say that if the Timberwolves end up with either of these guys as their main free agency pickup, than it will have been a disappointing offseason.

Corey Brewer and Arron Afflalo could both be decent bench pieces as fourth wings, provided they aren’t relied on much.

Brewer would be enjoying his third separate stint in Minnesota if he were to return; not much has changed since his most recent tour of Target Center, back in 2013-15. He still can’t shoot 3-pointers, never having managed to hit on even 30 percent in a season. He’s still really fast, and still gambles (and wins) in the passing lanes with frequency.

He remains a solid defender, and his chaotic style of play can be succesful at times. Brewer hit something of a second wind after joining the Oklahoma City Thunder down the stretch of the 2017-18 season, starting 16 of 18 regular season games and all six playoff contests, shooting 34.4 percent on threes during the balance of the regular season and 45.5 percent on threes in the playoffs.

While it would be fun to have Brew back in a Timberwolves uniform, he shouldn’t be relied on as a sixth man, as he simply isn’t a consistent offensive player.

Afflalo, on the other hand, really only brings the ability to knock down threes. The 33-year-old is a career 38.6 percent 3-point shooter, which is, coincidentally, the exact same rate he converted at last year in his second stint with Orlando. Two years ago, Afflalo made 41.1 percent of his threes in Sacramento.

He’s been a bad defender for a few years now, and has clearly lost a step in trying to get to the rim, too. He doesn’t draw fouls anymore, and is best used as a spot-up shooter and must be hidden on the defensive end of the floor.

At any rate, each of these guys would be a solid add as a 10th man, but nothing more.
