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.

In the broader scope, Mike Conley is one of the most underrated basketball players in the world, but on the inside, Conley has been a coveted player due to his selfless and team-first attitude. During his 15th season, Conley was traded from the Utah Jazz to Minnesota and finished the year continuing to average over 10 Points per Game, earning his fourth Sportsmanship Award.

Last season, Conley continued his steak of consistency (11.4 PPG), helped Minnesota reach the Western Conference Finals, and won his second Teammate of the Year Award.

In his late 30s, Conley begins his 2023-24 campaign with his best shot of acquiring an NFL Championship.
