Minnesota Timberwolves

2016 3-point Accuracy: 35.1 percent

Thompson 3-point Accuracy: 38.9 percent

The most surprising NBA team this year, if not the Detroit Pistons, is the Minnesota Timberwolves.  A season ago, the team was improving, and appeared to be poised to make a run at post-season play, particularly upon news of signing respected head coach Tom Thibodeau to lead the team.

And then a funny thing happened…

The Timberwolves this year have a solid group of starters.  Unfortunately, the depth on the team feels rather shallow. The team is solid with Andrew Wiggins and Zach Levine, but the team could use some help for Shabazz Muhammed and Brandon Rush.

Thompson’s versatility would give him the ability to pull minutes at either position.

While Thompson is not known for strong defensive play, he has improved in the area somewhat. And right now, Thibodeau needs to change the dynamics of the team, if only as a show of concern over the team’s performance so far.
