Qualifier: players will be classified under one position even if they played at more than one.

Kevin Garnett(notes):

Future Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett owns virtually every Minnesota Timberwolves franchise record. Garnett led the Timberwolves to all of their success as a franchise from his 1995-96 rookie season through his trade to the Boston Celtics in 2007. He carried the team to each of its eight playoffs as well as its two playoff series wins in 2004. The one-time MVP and Defensive Player of the Year owns seven of the top nine single-season point totals and eight of the top nine rebound totals in team history. Through 16 seasons, Garnett ranks in the NBA’s all-time top 25 in points (23,323), rebounds (12,819), steals (1,608) and blocks (1,847). His 14 All-Star appearances tie him for the third most by any player.

Kevin Love(notes):

One of the most tenacious rebounders in the NBA today, 2011 All-Star power forward Kevin Love leads the current Timberwolves roster. After earning All-Rookie honors in 2008-09, Love jumped forward with his first double-double year in 2009-10 despite coming off the bench. His 2010-11 season set a new standard when he averaged 20.2 points and a franchise record 15.2 rebounds per game to win the Most Improved Player award. On the offensive end, he bangs in the post and possesses a soft touch from three-point land and on both ends of the floor he owns every loose ball. Through just three seasons, he already ranks third in Wolves franchise history with 2,504 rebounds.

Al Jefferson(notes):

Current Utah Jazz big man Al Jefferson played three strong seasons with the Timberwolves from 2007 to 2010. Jefferson served as the centerpiece of the Garnett trade and he responded by anchoring the Wolves’ frontcourt with three All-Star-caliber years. Over 208 games, he averaged 20.1 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks for some otherwise weak Timberwolves teams.

Tom Gugliotta:

One-time All-Star power forward Tom Gugliotta was a big part of the Timberwolves’ rise to relevance in the mid-1990s. Gugliotta was a skilled big man who could pass, handle the ball and shoot from the perimeter. Spending the prime of his career in Minnesota, Gugliotta registered 18.2 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists as the Wolves evolved into a playoff team. For his career as a whole, he racked up 9,895 points and 5,589 rebounds in 763 NBA games.

Christian Laettner:

Former All-Star Christian Laettner started his NBA career with the Minnesota Timberwolves in 1992. Laettner joined Minnesota as the third overall pick in the 1992 draft and proceeded to play three-plus years of his best basketball there. He maintained averages of 17.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 276 games with the Timberwolves. In 2005, Laettner retired with 11,121 points over 13 NBA seasons.
