Wolves' All-Time Player Power Rankings - Shooting Guards 

Post#1 » by Klomp » Mon Sep 17, 2012 6:43 am

All-Time Roster

As we near Training Camp for the 2012-13 season, let's look back at the best players to wear a Timberwolves jersey by position. Please rank your top 5 in its entirety, as i plan to talley the results in the future, and will assign point values to where each player is ranked. Any incomplete rankings will not be included in the results.

1. 5 points
2. 4 points
3. 3 points
4. 2 points
5. 1 point

How would you rank the shooting guards? The determining criteria is up to you, as well as how you classify certain individuals.

Can I just skip this one? The ones that seem to be at least average played way before I became a Wolves fan. This just makes me sad.

Haha, this position is really hard to guage:

1. Doug West - Longevity wins here for me.
2. Malik Sealy - RIP, just liked his game a lot, and he fit in nicely obviously with KG.
3. J.R. Rider - Nutcase, but skills were off the chain.
4. Latrell Sprewell - Such a great slasher, though I'm so glad we didn't sign him to that second deal.
5. Rashad McCants - Just for kicks, cause honestly, there ain't a lot here to go with.

1. West
2. Sealey
3. Rider

5. Peeler

Can't decide which list is worse, center or shooting guard.

Does any other NBA franchise have as poor of a top 5 at any position as the Wolves do at Shooting Guard.
24 seasons in... and the uncertainty from the 2 is still the team's greatest concern.

1. Doug West. Longevity wins. Poor Doug's reward post-Wolves career was riding the pine for Vancouver. Yuck.
2. Latrell Sprewell. Short run, but he put in some professional performances... in the playoffs. Still didn't dig him.
3. JR Rider. Decent stats. Awful team. Atrocious person. Pregnant security guards do not endorse this choice.
4. Tony Campbell. Sorta a 2. Either him or Corbin gets this nod. Surprisingly good stats for crappy teams.
5. Rashad McCants. ONLY because he gave me more message board fodder than any other Timberwolves player.

How far up the list could Brandon Roy climb after one season?!

1. Sprewell - Basically by default.
2. Rider - Three very good seasons, and a dunk contest champion.
3. West - Longevity gives him this spot.
4. Brewer - His 09-10 season earns him this spot.
5. Sealy - Could've been higher had it not been for an idiot drunk driver.

I don't know the pre 04-05 Wolves well enough to do these lists properly, but jeez SG, SF and C are depressing to read.

3rd or 4th, if he stays healthy. Maybe 1st or 2nd during the second year if he returns to All-Star form. Would be great for the Wolves franchise.
