Given the endless possibilities involved with the 2020 NBA Draft and free agency, there are myriad lineup possibilities for the Minnesota Timberwolves next season.
The 2019-20 NBA season is finally approaching its conclusion as the conference finals matchups have now been set. As the offseason quickly approaches, the Wolves will be faced with an abundance of choices to make regarding how to improve their team.
After winning the 2020 NBA Draft Lottery and acquiring the first-overall pick, the Wolves’ front office saw their choice set increase, giving them the option to either pick any player they want in the draft or to use the pick as a trade asset.

That being said, let’s look at some possible starting lineups for the Timberwolves for the 2020-2021 season that could occur based on ideas for activity in the draft, trade market, and free agent market.
