Has there ever been a more appropriate nickname for a player than Thud? LOL

No love for the Aussies? Longley, Shane Heal and Nate Jawai.

Don't worry, they're not in my list either.

1. Garnett
2. Rubio
3. Wiggins
4. Szczerbiak
5. Gugliotta
6. KAT
7. Cassell
8. Terrell Brandon
9. Marbury
10. Laettner

I expect Wiggins and KAT will be 2 and 3 pretty soon. Also expect Lavine to make the list pretty soon too.

1. KG
2. Love
3. Cassell
4. Rubio
5. Brandon
6. Wally
7. Hassell
8. Ervin Johnson
9. Troy Hudson
10. Bill Curley

Too obvious KG
Next 10 in alphabetical order Billups, Brandon, Cory Brewer, Tony Campbell, Cassell, Tyrone Corbin, Gugliotta, Laettner, Sam Mitchell, Szczerbiak.
Honorable mention Oliver Miller, Antoine Walker (those guys cracked me up)

1. KG (he is MN basketball)
2. Sam Cassell (Mr Clutch)
3. Ricky Rubio (hustle, attitude, drive, love this guy)

So glad somebody else joined me in including Sam Mitchell on their list...too many votes for the wrong Sam who was only with us for one season and cost us a championship by injuring himself doing the Big Ball dance!

Mitchell ranks in the top 2 or 3 in all of these all-time T-wolf categories: Games played, minutes, points, and rebounds, and he's 4th in steals and 8th in blocked shots. Plus he played with heart every time he got on the court. Finally, KG credits him with mentoring him when he was a youngster trying to learn the NBA game, and he is now the coach of our favorite team. KG will always be Mr. Timberwolf, but Sam has to be #2 on the list of all-time great Timberwolves.

1. Kevin Garnett
2. Isaiah Rider (Childhood memories, had his autograph on a ticket for a present for X-mas one year)
3. Andrew Wiggins
4. Zach LaVine
5. Karl-Anthony Towns
6. Troy Hudson
7. Sam Mitchell
8. Tom Gugliotta
9. Doug West
10. Corey Brewer
Special add in: Igor Rako?evi?

Has there been a more clutch season by any Wolves player in their history than what Sam gave us that season? Never has watching Wolves BB been more fun than it was that season and Sam was a major, major, major part of that! The injury was unfortunate, how he was injured even more so, but still, not even Wesley Johnson has smiled more during a season than I did that year!!

I like Mitchell as a player, but c'mon, his impact was largely in that most loved role of mentor. He was a solid player and a stabilizing force on a relatively young team, but looking back it was never Mitchell that I remember.

Darko
Flynn
McCants
Ndudi Ebi
Loren Woods
Rick Rickert
Igor Rakocevic
Oliver Miller
Marko Jaric
4 1st rounders Joe Smith

Shit.. wrong list.. hang on..
