The well travelled (eight teams in fifteen years) Sam Cassell plied his trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves for just two seasons, one of which resulted in his only All Star Game appearance.  In that season, the Point Guard would average 19.8 Points per Game and a 22.8 PER, both of which were career highs when he was with one team during an NBA campaign.  He would also be named to a post season All-NBA team, again the only time in his career that occurred.

In the lengthy 14-year NBA career of Power Forward, Tom Gugliotta, the peak period was easily the three and half seasons he was with Minnesota.  “Googs” would reward the Timberwolves fans with two consecutive 20 Point per Game seasons and was an All-Star in 1997.
An All-Star twice as a Cleveland Cavalier, Terrell Brandon had a lot left to offer when he arrived in Minnesota. The Point Guard was equal mentor as he was a player and would actually see the best Assists numbers of his career. This was also true with his Steals statistics, as he would twice finish in the top ten in Steals per Game.
Brandon, who was with the T-Wolves for three and a half seasons never had a PER under 20, an outstanding number that reflects his overall game.
