Who is the top 5 players to ever play for the Wolves?

Post by bleedspeed »

I am saying game before and after being a Wolve would be included.

I would say.

1. KG
2. Billups
3, Jefferson (Leader of solid Jazz and Bobcat teams)
4. Love
5. Marbury

I weighted more towards how much they were part of winners over pure stats.

Ouch, tough to include people using the "winner" criteria. It would be Christian Laettner, and everyone else tied for second! Seriously, if it's based on being part of a winner, I'd go with Garnett, Sprewell, Cassell, Hassell and Hoiberg. I'm going to take it in a different direction, though, and go by stats contributed when they were with the Wolves:

Garnett
Love
Campbell
Jefferson
Gugliotta

I'm expecting that Rubio and Wiggins will be swapped in for Campbell and Googs before their careers are over.

I complete forgot about Spree and Cassell. Cassell would be tied for second with Billups.

I'd go with

KG
Marbury
Love
Cassell
Laettner

Fans don't like Laettner, but he was our best defender back then, did a very good job against bigger centers, and was clearly a very good offensive player as well. Clearly a locker-room cancer, but one of the best wolves IMO.

If you go by winners I'd say......

KG
Cassell
Spree
Wally
T Hud (based on one series)

(nobody else ever did squat in the post season)

If you go by stats and time with team I'd say....

KG
K Love
Wally
Campbell
Gugs

Notice its basically PFs and PGs with a couple wings thrown in. Pretty much shows the Wolves player talent history. with this thread.

One guy that has not been mentioned via the original premise of this thread is Terry Porter.

So we're using players for their overall career accomplishment... not just while with the Wolves?

Too bad we can't do this for Toronto. I'd put Hakeem Olajuwon #1.

Nobody is beating the Lakers.

Karl Malone at PF is probably the worst position!
