NBA: All-Time starting 5 of the Minnesota Timberwolves

Guard – Wally Szczerbiak

Wally Szczerbiak

In seven seasons with the Timberwolves, Wally Szczerbiak became a household and a difficult name to spell in the NBA. He was an All-Star in 2002 and the team made the playoffs five times during his tenure there. Szczerbiak also established himself as one of the best shooters in the NBA at that time.

“Wally World” ranks fourth in the franchise’s all-time scoring list, ninth in rebounds, eighth in assists, and third in three-points made. The Timberwolves have only retired one jersey but fans should not be surprised if Szczerbiak’s No. 10 will hang from the rafters of the Target Center in the near future.

Honorable Mention: Guard – Sam Mitchell

Sam Mitchell played for the Timberwolves for ten seasons in two different stints. He ranks second in total points for the franchise, third in rebounds, fourth in steals, and tenth in blocks. Mitchell also coached the Timberwolves on an interim basis in the 2015-16 NBA season.
