The last of the Original Minnesota Timberwolves, Doug West played over 600 games for the franchise.  West was a very popular player among the T-Wolves fans and would have his career year in the 1992-93 campaign where he averaged 19 Points per Game.  While West played a lot of games for Minnesota he finished his T-Wolves career (and NBA career in general) with a negative VORP and other advanced metrics, basically indicating that he was slightly an under average NBA player making it very hard to rank him much higher than where he is.

The career of Stephon Marbury (“Starbury”) has been controversial for sure, but it was in Minnesota where he began his NBA career, though we wonder if there are people in the Gopher State who wish he never arrived!

A two-time All-Star with Portland when he arrived in Minnesota in his early 30’s, Terry Porter brought veteran leadership and poise to the T-Wolves when he arrived.  While Porter was now coming off of the bench, it was while he was there that Minnesota finally broke through to the playoffs and had a winning season.  His locker room presence certainly helped in that regard.

From the former Yugoslavian nation of Slovenia, Radoslav “Rasho” Nesterovic was a late first rounder who may not have done things fancy, but did the little things to make his teams better.  Nesterovic grew his game every season in Minnesota, leading up to an 11.2 Points per Game season, the most productive of his career.  It was so good, he was signed by the San Antonio Spurs and would earn a NBA Championship Ring with them in 2005.
