The Minnesota Timberwolves need to improve their guard rotation
How the Timberwolves can improve their guard rotation
The easiest and most obvious way of getting players that can solidify the group of guards that the Minnesota Timberwolves currently have on their roster would be through free agency. There are a plethora of guards that fit all three of the archetypes outlined.
In terms of high-level defenders, there is Elfrid Payton (although the Knicks do have a team option), Kris Dunn, and Jevon Carter. For good facilitators, there is Goran Dragic and JJ Barea. For 3-and-D free agents, De’Anthony Melton and Matthew Dellavedova would both be good options.

Another way of acquiring talent is through the NBA Draft. This year, the Timberwolves are expected to have three top-35 draft picks (with one in the top-10). Some possible draft choices would be LaMelo Ball (pass-first lead-guard), Killian Hayes (pass-first lead-guard, plus defense), Tyrese Haliburton (3-and-D guard, can facilitate too), Devon Dotson (pass-first lead-guard, good defensively), Cole Anthony (3-and-D guard), and Jahmi’us Ramsey (3-and-D guard).
