Statistically speaking Joe Smith belongs on this list. The versatile forward averaged 10.3 Points per Game over 247 NBA contests with slightly above average advanced metrics. He would essentially become an NBA journeyman playing for 12 teams, but it was with Minnesota where he was most famous, and dare we say most infamous.

A member of the Minnesota Timberwolves midway through his National Basketball Association career, Anthony Peeler, spent the bulk of his NBA tenure with the Wolves.  Peeler managed a long NBA career but it was with Minnesota where he had his longest run.

From the West African nation of Senegal, the large Center, Gorgui Dieng, played in the United States in High School and college at the University of Louisville.  Taken 21st in the 2014 Draft, Dieng played his first five-and-a-half seasons in Minnesota, where in both 2015-16 & 2016-17, he averaged just over 10 Points and seven Rebounds per Game, which would be the apex of his career.

Dieng was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies during the 2019-20 season, and he went on play for San Antonio and Atlanta, but by far his best run in the NBA was with the Timberwolves.

Coming out of UCLA, Point Guard, Pooh Richardson (yes, he was named after Winnie the Pooh), never missed a game in his three seasons with the Timberwolves.  The former Pac-10 Freshman of the Year would average 15 Points per Game in Minnesota, which was by far the best offensive output of his career…though he never did learn how to shoot free throws!
