Jarrett Culver

At the beginning of this season, there was some brief confidence that Jarrett Culver was going to improve. Over the course of his first two games this year, he averaged 12 points and eight rebounds on 62/75/71 splits. While the expectation was that he wouldn’t be able to keep that efficiency up, he is averaging 5 points and three rebounds on 39/20/59 splits since those first two games.

Giving Culver the benefit of the doubt a little bit here – he did miss several games (roughly 40-percent of the season) with various injuries, but his play has been less than redeeming when healthy.

In his last 11 games in particular, Culver is only getting eight minutes per games (with an average plus-minus of -4.2 in those minutes).

Culver, the sixth overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, has not been good, and the Timberwolves should look to move on from him this offseason – not only for their sake, but also to give Culver a chance in a different NBA environment – because it does not look as though it is going to work out in Minnesota.
