Minnesota Timberwolves: 10 wing options in free agency

5. Joe Harris

Joe Harris will be entering his fifth season in the NBA and has shown marked improvement over the course of his career, with his first two seasons spent in Cleveland and the last two in Brooklyn.

Harris is a 6-foot-6 shooting guard who has been a 40 percent 3-point shooter thus far, including hitting on 41.9 percent last year, when he started 14 of 78 games for the Nets. He’s improved his all-around scoring, including free throw shooting and his frequency of getting to the line, and has largely been able to hold his own defensively.

He has the size to play some small forward, although he tends to be exposed a bit at that spot. With his ability to stretch the floor, he would play well alongside either Andrew Wiggins or Jimmy Butler in 20 minutes or so per game off the bench.

Harris would be a better fit on the bench than, say, Jamal Crawford was, as he’s a low-usage player who can knock down open threes at a higher rate. If Wiggins or Butler is going to play with the second unit anyway, than having another player who can knock down 3-pointers 40 percent of the time, there would simply be more floor to work with for the guys who have the ball in their hands most often.

There’s also a bit of upside remaining for the soon-to-be 27-year-old. Harris would be an intriguing addition for the Timberwolves, to be sure.
