Just for fun ..

By whatever criteria you choose, how many players on the current Wolves team would make your Wolves Top Ten?

Ant for sure. Gaining quickly on KG for #1.

McDaniels and Gobert for sure.

Maybe Conley.

Its such a low bar...I mean Sam Mitchell is still the 5th leading scorer and rebounder in franchise history...

This is fun! Currently it's these 10 for me:
1. KG
2. Rubio
3. KAT
4. Rudy
5. McDaniels
6. Ant
7. Pek
8. Love
9. Kirilenko
10. Wally

Honorable mentions:
Googs, Al Jeff and Conley
These guys are players I enjoyed watching. Not necessarily with the most impact on team success

For me, I value what a player has done in a Wolves uniform, reaching the playoffs, awards, and overall talent. So I can quickly say that our top 4 might be:

Garnett, Ant, KAT, Love.

Gugliotta, Kirilenko, Marbury and Jimmy were all great players, but did more elsewhere. But Gobert has done enough here to make my list, including two WCF’s and one of his DPOYs.

I think I need to take Ricky Rubio, #2 in assists and steals, and #1 in adoreableness.

Sam Cassell and Wally both made All Star Games, and the other WCF, so I’ll take them.

So I have two spots left for three choices. Sam Mitchell (good career stats as a Timberwolf so long), Wiggins (ROY, some stats, always wanted more), and Jaden McDaniels. I’m going to kick out Mitchell, who got stats on bad teams.

Garnett, Ant, KAT, Love, Gobert, Rubio, Cassell, Szczerbiak, McDaniels, Wiggins

4 Love
5 RUDY RUDY RUDY
6 Brandon

The best four are very easy for me, then from four to five there is a big gap.

1- Kevin Garnett
2- Anthony Edwards
3- Karl Anthony Towns
4- Kevin Love
5- Rudy Robert
6- Wally Sczcerbiak
7- Tom Gugliotta
8- Sam Cassell
9- Ricky Rubio
10- Sam Mitchell

I was tempted to exchange 3 and 4, I have better memories from Love than Towns. Maybe 4 or 5 years the only reason to watch the Wolves was him.

He had moments but wasn't particularly good or on good teams.

Not even my top 15, maybe in the 20, idk.

Krapinsky · Post #14 » by **Krapinsky** » Wed Jun 4, 2025 4:45 pm

1. KG
2. Ant
3. Towns
4. Love
5. Rubio
6. Gobert
7. Wiggins
8. Wally
9. Naz
10. Sam Mitchell / Doug West

I think by next year Naz could move up to 7 (if he resigns) and McDaniels to 8-9 if he continues to improve and play like he did down the stretch.

You guys are right about C-Brew, after listing everyone he probably doesn't crack top 15 anymore. Seemed like a fan favorite for a long time.

He got bonus points for the attempt at the self-inflicted triple-double.

No Wesley Johnson?

He didn't actually harm or make the franchise worse. One of those guys I listed wasn't even a Wolves player lol.
