Team Impact Spotlight

PLAYER NAME ROLE TIER MPG USAGE TIER PPG RPG APG STK (SPG + BPG) IMPACT INDEX NOTES AWARDS
Kevin Love Starter/Star [1.1] 34.3 High [1.2] 18.3 14.0 2.3 1.2 94.51 In 2012–13, Love’s season was defined by resilience. Limited to 18 games due to hand surgery, he still functioned as Minnesota’s offensive hub whenever he was available—spacing the floor beyond the arc while vacuuming up rebounds at an elite rate. His 14.0 boards per night underscored his dominance on the glass, particularly on the defensive end, where he ended possessions and ignited transition. Though his shooting percentages dipped, his usage remained sky-high as the Timberwolves leaned on him to create from the elbows and trail threes. NBA All-Star (2011, 2012); All-NBA Second Team (2012); NBA Champion (2016)
Nikola Peković Starter/Star [1.1] 31.6 High [1.2] 16.3 8.8 0.9 1.5 72.86 Peković delivered one of the most efficient interior scoring seasons in franchise history. Operating almost exclusively on the block, he punished defenders with brute strength and soft touch, shooting 52.0% from the field. Minnesota frequently fed him early in games to establish physicality, and his 8.8 rebounds reflected his work in traffic. He was the team’s tone-setter inside, absorbing contact and forcing double teams that opened perimeter looks. —
Ricky Rubio Starter/Star [1.1] 29.7 High [1.2] 10.7 4.0 7.3 2.5 64.94 Rubio orchestrated the offense with flair and vision in his second NBA season. Though his shooting remained inconsistent, his 7.3 assists and 2.4 steals per game highlighted his two-way imprint. He pushed tempo relentlessly, probing passing lanes defensively and threading cross-court feeds offensively. Minnesota’s identity—up-tempo, opportunistic, unselfish—flowed from his creativity at the point of attack. NBA All-Rookie First Team (2012); NBA Rising Stars Challenge (2012)
Andrei Kirilenko Starter/Star [1.1] 31.8 Medium [1.1] 12.4 5.7 2.8 2.5 56.39 Kirilenko’s return to the NBA brought veteran savvy and positional versatility. He filled box scores in subtle ways—deflections, rotations, secondary playmaking—while posting a hyper-efficient 50.7% shooting clip. Often tasked with guarding the opponent’s best wing, he blended anticipation with length, and his combined 2.5 steals and blocks per game captured his defensive range. He was the connective tissue in Rick Adelman’s system. NBA All-Star (2004); NBA All-Defensive First Team (2006)
Luke Ridnour Starter/Star [1.1] 30.2 Medium [1.1] 11.5 2.5 3.8 1.2 46.10 Ridnour started all 82 games and stabilized the backcourt amid injuries. He shot a steady 45.3% from the field and kept turnovers manageable, serving as a secondary ball-handler next to Rubio or Barea. Not flashy, but dependable—his pull-up jumper and midrange craft allowed Minnesota to maintain spacing in half-court sets. —
Derrick Williams Starter/Star [1.1] 24.6 Medium [1.1] 12.0 5.5 0.6 1.1 46.01 Williams flashed the athleticism that made him the No. 2 overall pick in 2011. Used as an energy forward, he thrived in transition and on straight-line drives, averaging 12.0 points. His outside shot showed improvement, and while still refining defensive instincts, he provided scoring bursts that lifted second units or complemented starters. NBA Rising Stars Challenge (2012)
J.J. Barea Key Contributor [1.05] 23.1 High [1.2] 11.3 2.8 4.0 0.4 46.12 Barea was Minnesota’s microwave scorer off the bench, attacking gaps with jittery pace and fearless drives. His 11.3 points and 4.0 assists per game often came in momentum-swinging stretches, especially when the offense stagnated. Undersized but relentless, he bent defenses with penetration and timely threes. NBA Champion (2011)
Dante Cunningham Key Contributor [1.05] 25.1 Low [1.0] 8.7 5.1 0.8 1.6 33.81 Cunningham carved out a steady role as a defensive-minded forward. Rarely featured offensively, he focused on hustle plays—offensive rebounds, switches, and help rotations. His willingness to defend bigger players and run the floor made him a glue piece in Minnesota’s rotation. —
Alexey Shved Key Contributor [1.05] 23.9 Medium [1.1] 8.6 2.3 3.7 1.1 36.04 The Russian rookie brought improvisation and confidence. Shved handled secondary playmaking duties and wasn’t shy about pulling up from deep. His 3.7 assists per game reflected creative instincts, though streaky shooting defined his rhythm. He added flair and unpredictability to the backcourt mix. NBA All-Rookie Second Team (2013); NBA Rising Stars Challenge (2013)
Chase Budinger Key Contributor [1.05] 22.1 Medium [1.1] 9.4 3.1 1.1 0.9 33.50 Injuries limited Budinger to 23 games, but when active he spaced the floor effectively. A career 3-point threat, he moved well without the ball and finished above the rim in transition. His presence added vertical and horizontal spacing to Adelman’s offense. NBA Slam Dunk Contest participant (2012)
Greg Stiemsma Key Contributor [1.05] 15.9 Low [1.0] 4.0 3.4 0.4 1.8 20.16 Stiemsma anchored the paint in limited minutes, averaging 1.2 blocks per game. His value came from rim deterrence and physical screens rather than scoring. He protected the restricted area and absorbed fouls against bigger centers. —
Mickaël Gelabale Key Contributor [1.05] 17.9 Low [1.0] 5.0 2.8 0.7 0.5 18.90 Gelabale’s efficient 51.8% shooting highlighted selective offense—cuts, spot-ups, and opportunistic finishes. He defended wings with length and discipline, giving Minnesota rotational depth on the perimeter. —
Malcolm Lee Key Contributor [1.05] 18.1 Low [1.0] 4.9 2.4 1.3 1.2 20.16 Lee’s season was injury-marred, but his defensive activity stood out. With 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks in under 20 minutes, he supplied point-of-attack resistance and slashing upside. —
Chris Johnson Bench [1.0] 9.5 Low [1.0] 3.9 2.0 0.3 1.1 14.60 Johnson provided frontcourt depth and surprising shot-blocking pop in short bursts. Shooting 64.0% from the field, he finished efficiently around the rim and altered attempts with quick leaping ability. —
Josh Howard Bench [1.0] 18.8 Low [1.0] 6.7 3.3 0.4 1.2 23.20 A former All-Star, Howard offered veteran minutes on the wing. Though past his peak, he chipped in midrange scoring and positional defense during brief stretches. NBA All-Star (2007)
Brandon Roy Starter/Star [1.1] 24.4 Medium [1.1] 5.8 2.8 4.6 0.6 33.08 Roy’s comeback attempt was one of the season’s emotional storylines. In just five games, the former All-Star flashed his trademark poise—most memorably with a late-game scoring burst against Dallas—before knee issues resurfaced. Even in limited action, his playmaking instincts were evident. NBA Rookie of the Year (2007); NBA All-Star (2008, 2009, 2010); All-NBA Second Team (2009)
Lou Amundson Bench [1.0] 8.1 Low [1.0] 1.6 2.4 0.2 0.7 9.80 Amundson supplied energy minutes, crashing the offensive glass and battling inside. Offense was limited, but effort never was. —
Lazar Hayward Bench [1.0] 7.8 Low [1.0] 2.5 1.0 0.8 0.5 9.60 In sparse appearances, Hayward showed willingness to shoot and move the ball, though opportunities were brief. —
Will Conroy Bench [1.0] 5.0 Low [1.0] 0.3 0.3 0.0 0.0 1.20 Conroy’s stint was limited to short relief minutes at point guard, primarily serving as depth insurance. —
Team Totals — — — 152.0 75.0 37.0 23.8 — The Timberwolves battled injuries throughout the 2012–13 regular season, finishing 31–51. Despite strong interior production and creative guard play, inconsistency and absences undercut playoff aspirations in a competitive Western Conference. —
