41. Jarred Vanderbilt

41. Jarred Vanderbilt

Jarred Vanderbilt played his college ball at Kentucky, and did well enough to earn a spot in the 2018 NBA Draft, a second round selection by Denver.  An excellent leaper and dunker, Vanderbilt did not play much for the Nuggets, as he was assigned mostly with Rio Grande in the G-League, but a trade in 2000 would grant the Power Forward an opportunity for playing time.

Vanderbilt was on the T-Wolves roster going into the 2020-21 Season, staring 30 of his 64 Games, averaging 5.8 Rebounds per Game despite playing less than 20 Minutes per Game.  He started more Games in 2021-22, (67 of 74), again with a healthy Rebound number (8.4 RPG), and helping Minnesota make the playoffs for the first time in years.

As good as he was becoming, Vanderbilt was traded to Utah to get Rudy Gobert, ending Vanderbilt’s time with the Timberwolves.
