|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Karl-Anthony Towns | Starter/Star [1.1] | 33.9 | High [1.2] | 26.5 | 10.8 | 4.4 | 2.1 | 115.37 | Towns was the centerpiece of the 2019-20 Minnesota Timberwolves offense, a seven-footer playing like a perimeter shot-creator. In 35 games, he averaged 26.5 points and 10.8 rebounds while drilling 41.2 percent of his 7.9 threes per night — outrageous volume for a center. Ryan Saunders ran offense through him at the elbows and above the break, letting him attack off the bounce or spray passes to cutters when double teams arrived. His 4.4 assists reflected that expanded playmaking burden. Even as the roster churned around him at the trade deadline, Towns’ combination of power inside and guard-like range made him one of the league’s most matchup-warping big men. | 3× NBA All-Star (2018, 2019, 2022); 2016 Rookie of the Year |
| Andrew Wiggins | Starter/Star [1.1] | 34.6 | High [1.2] | 22.4 | 5.2 | 3.7 | 1.6 | 86.59 | Wiggins opened the 2019-20 season playing arguably the most complete basketball of his Minnesota tenure. Before being traded, he posted 22.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists across 42 games for the Minnesota Timberwolves, attacking downhill with renewed purpose. Saunders empowered him as a primary pick-and-roll handler, and his assist numbers climbed as a result. The three-point shot (33.1 percent) remained streaky, but his improved shot selection and willingness to facilitate hinted at growth beyond pure scoring. | NBA Champion (2022); 2022 All-Star |
| D’Angelo Russell | Starter/Star [1.1] | 32.7 | High [1.2] | 21.7 | 4.6 | 6.6 | 1.7 | 91.08 | Acquired at the 2020 trade deadline, Russell immediately became a high-usage initiator for the 2019-20 Minnesota Timberwolves. In 12 games with Minnesota, he averaged 21.7 points and 6.6 assists, orchestrating spread pick-and-roll with a scorer’s mentality. His 9.2 three-point attempts per night underscored his pull-up confidence, and his 87.3 percent free-throw shooting steadied late-game possessions. The sample was brief due to injury, but the blueprint was clear: Russell as perimeter engine alongside Towns’ inside-out gravity. | 2019 All-Star; 2019 Rising Stars Challenge |
| Malik Beasley | Starter/Star [1.1] | 33.1 | High [1.2] | 20.7 | 5.1 | 1.9 | 0.7 | 75.50 | Beasley’s 14-game audition after arriving at the trade deadline injected life into the 2019-20 Minnesota Timberwolves. He averaged 20.7 points while hitting 42.6 percent of his threes on 8.2 attempts per game, sprinting off screens and firing without hesitation. His movement shooting complemented Towns’ spacing beautifully, forcing defenses to chase on the perimeter and opening driving lanes for others. In a small window, he looked like a long-term floor spacer tailor-made for the system. | |
| Robert Covington | Starter/Star [1.1] | 29.4 | Medium [1.1] | 12.8 | 6.0 | 1.2 | 2.6 | 54.03 | Covington served as the defensive conscience of the 2019-20 Minnesota Timberwolves before his own deadline departure. His 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks per game only scratched the surface; he quarterbacked coverages, stunted at drivers and rotated early to the rim. Offensively, he spaced the floor with 6.5 threes per night. In a season defined by transition, Covington’s two-way reliability anchored lineups on both ends. | 2018 All-Defensive First Team |
| Jeff Teague | Key Contributor [1.05] | 27.8 | Medium [1.1] | 13.2 | 2.6 | 6.1 | 1.1 | 52.33 | Teague’s early-season role for the 2019-20 Minnesota Timberwolves centered on steady pick-and-roll orchestration. He averaged 6.1 assists and shot 86.8 percent from the line, leaning on craft rather than burst. While not a high-volume scorer, he stabilized possessions and toggled tempo for a roster in flux before being moved at the deadline. | NBA Champion (2021); 2015 All-Star |
| Juancho Hernangómez | Key Contributor [1.05] | 29.4 | Medium [1.1] | 12.9 | 7.3 | 1.3 | 1.3 | 52.02 | Hernangómez arrived midseason and immediately slotted into a stretch-four role for the 2019-20 Minnesota Timberwolves. In 14 games, he averaged 12.9 points and 7.3 rebounds, knocking down 42.0 percent of his threes. His quick release from the corners and wings fit seamlessly into Minnesota’s spacing-heavy approach, while his rebounding added secondary possessions. | NBA Champion (2023) |
| James Johnson | Key Contributor [1.05] | 24.1 | Medium [1.1] | 12.0 | 4.7 | 3.8 | 2.8 | 53.59 | Johnson’s stint with the 2019-20 Minnesota Timberwolves showcased his versatility. In 14 games, he filled box scores with 12.0 points, 3.8 assists and a combined 2.8 steals plus blocks per night. Often deployed as a small-ball five or point forward, he handled the ball in transition and defended across positions, giving Minnesota a switchable wrinkle during a developmental stretch. | |
| Josh Okogie | Key Contributor [1.05] | 25.0 | Medium [1.1] | 8.6 | 4.3 | 1.6 | 1.5 | 36.27 | Okogie’s value in 2019-20 stemmed from defensive edge. Tasked with guarding premier wings for the Minnesota Timberwolves, he averaged 1.1 steals and brought relentless ball pressure. Offensively, he attacked the rim and earned trips to the line, though perimeter shooting (26.6 percent from three) limited spacing. His energy often outpaced the box score. | |
| Gorgui Dieng | Key Contributor [1.05] | 16.9 | Medium [1.1] | 7.4 | 5.6 | 1.3 | 1.7 | 36.88 | Dieng provided steady frontcourt minutes early in the 2019-20 season for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He stretched the floor (38.3 percent from three) and protected the rim with 0.9 blocks per game, offering a balanced skill set before being traded. His ability to toggle between drop coverage and perimeter contests fit the evolving defensive schemes. | |
| Jarrett Culver | Key Contributor [1.05] | 23.9 | Medium [1.1] | 9.2 | 3.4 | 1.7 | 1.5 | 36.50 | As a rookie, Culver was handed real responsibility on the wing for the 2019-20 Minnesota Timberwolves. He averaged 9.2 points and showed flashes as a slasher and transition finisher. Defensive instincts were evident in passing lanes, but inconsistent shooting (29.9 percent from three, 46.2 percent from the line) underscored a developmental curve still in progress. | |
| Shabazz Napier | Key Contributor [1.05] | 23.8 | Medium [1.1] | 9.6 | 3.1 | 5.2 | 1.3 | 40.47 | Napier handled starting point guard duties for stretches of the 2019-20 Minnesota Timberwolves season. His 5.2 assists per game reflected comfort running spread pick-and-roll, and he wasn’t shy about pulling up from deep. While efficiency fluctuated, his assertiveness kept the offense afloat amid injuries and roster turnover. | |
| Jordan McLaughlin | Bench [1.0] | 19.7 | Low [1.0] | 7.6 | 1.6 | 4.2 | 1.2 | 29.20 | McLaughlin quietly impressed as an undrafted rookie for the 2019-20 Minnesota Timberwolves. He averaged 4.2 assists against modest turnovers and shot 48.9 percent from the field, playing with poise beyond his experience. His change-of-pace drives and kick-outs added rhythm to bench units. | |
| Naz Reid | Bench [1.0] | 16.5 | Low [1.0] | 9.0 | 4.1 | 1.2 | 1.3 | 31.20 | Reid emerged as a rotation big during his rookie year with the 2019-20 Minnesota Timberwolves. He averaged 9.0 points and flashed face-up range, attempting over three threes per game. While efficiency wavered, his willingness to stretch the floor hinted at long-term utility. | |
| Jake Layman | Bench [1.0] | 22.0 | Low [1.0] | 9.1 | 2.5 | 0.7 | 1.1 | 26.80 | Layman’s season was interrupted by injury, but when available for the 2019-20 Minnesota Timberwolves, he supplied slashing and opportunistic scoring. He thrived cutting along the baseline and finishing in traffic, complementing perimeter-heavy lineups. | |
| TEAM TOTALS | 243.1 | 113.3 | 44.8 | 23.8 | 14.4 | 569.16 | The 2019-20 Timberwolves averaged 113.3 points per game, leaning heavily into three-point volume (39.7 attempts per night) as the front office reshaped the roster at the deadline. The offensive philosophy increasingly revolved around pace, spacing and Towns’ perimeter gravity, signaling a franchise pivot toward modern shot distribution despite a transitional season in the standings. |
