Our All Time Top 50 Minnesota Timberwolves have been revised to reflect the 2023-24 Season
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023-24 revision of our top 50 Minnesota Timberwolves.
As for all of our top 50 players in basketball, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Basketball Association.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, the Timberwolves had a nice run with their best team in years. This has resulted in three new entrants and two elevations.
As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:
1. Kevin Garnett
2. Karl-Anthony Towns
3. Kevin Love
4. Wally Szczerbiak
5. Terrell Brandon
You can find the entire list here.
KAT remains at #2 from last year, and the chasm between him in Garnett remains large, though the gap between Towns and #3 also continues to grow.
Anthony Edwards, who rocketed from #18 to #9. He is on a two-year streak of All-Stars and was a Second Team All-NBA Selection last year.
It may only have been two years, and after year one, it looked like a mistake, but last season, Rudy Gobert won the Defensive Player of the Year Award. On a team like Minnesota, which has never been to the Finals, has had high turnover, and is an expansion team, a year like Gobert’s 2023-24 can jump a player from #40 to #14, which is what we have here.
Another big man, Naz Reid, climbed eleven spots to #16.
Jaden McDaniels is the first of three new entries. The Forward debuts at #32.
Veteran Point Guard Mike Conley Jr. makes his first appearance at #33.
Another veteran, Kyle Anderson, who is now with Utah, enters at #34.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
Our All-Time Top 50 Minnesota Timberwolves have been revised to reflect the 2022-23 Season
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022/23 revision of our top 50 Minnesota Timberwolves.
As for all of our top 50 players in basketball we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Basketball Association.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, Minnesota did not take the step they thought after going all in on Rudy Gobert. Can they make a leap this year? Either way, last year did see Gobert make the list, and see one player make a sizable jump.
As always, we present our top five, which was not affected by the last season:
3. Kevin Love
You can find the entire list here.
Towns remains at #2, and will take a long time, if at all possible) to supplant Garnett for the top spot.
Anthony Edwards, who is ascending to NBA top ten status, vaulted to #18 from #33.
D’Angelo Russell, who was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers late in the year, advanced to #22 from #29.
Center, Naz Reid, continued his climb, moving to #27 from #34.
Rudy Gobert, whose arrival could be debated for decades to come, is still good enough to be here even with one year of service, even if it was down by his Utah standards. Remember, the Timberwolves have not been around long, have never been great, and basketball fields small rosters. This rank is warranted.

9. Terrell Brandon
Terrell Brandon was the 11th Overall Pick in the 1991 Draft, and he would spend his first three years and change serving as the backup Point Guard to Mark Price. Brandon would become the team's starter officially in the 1995/96 season where he would go on a two-year streak of All-Star Game appearances and would average 19.4 Points per Game and would be regarded as one of the most accurate shooters in the sport. He would have a PER of 25.2 and 21.5 respectively and was in the top three in Free Throw Percentage both of those years.
5. Terrell Brandon
Brandon, who was with the T-Wolves for three and a half seasons never had a PER under 20, an outstanding number that reflects his overall game.
