Oh boy.

Latrell Sprewell is known for a lot of things, but sadly his prowess on the basketball court comes behind three things.
A Shooting Guard who would win the Slam Dunk Championship as a member of the Timberwolves, Isaiah Rider was a dunking machine as the 5th overall pick in the draft. Rider would exceed over 20 Points per Game for the 1994/95 Season and a near 19 PPG as a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Known as the “Drunken Dribbler” (Seriously, is that not the best nickname ever?), Corey Brewer likely did not live up to the potential that he had as a former 7th pick overall due to a torn ACL.  The former NCAA Final Four Outstanding Player of the Year had two stints in Minnesota, most notably with a 13.0 PPG in the 2009/10 Season.
In all three of his seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Ryan Gomes averaged over 10 Points per Game, numbers that are productive for any Forward.  Gomes arrived to Minnesota via the blockbuster Kevin Garnett trade and did provide good two-way play for the T-Wolves, though realistically his time with Minnesota was certainly in the team’s down period and may not be remembered much, if at all.
