The little-known big man from LSU burst onto the scene for Minnesota this season in the wake of the injuries.
Signed to a 10-day contract, Johnson showed up and promptly earned MVP chants in his first game. With Love, Nikola Pekovic and Dante Cunningham all out on the front line, the team was forced to turn to Johnson, and he carved himself a nice little niche on this team.
Johnson was later signed for the rest of the season. The 6'11" forward surely made enough of a mark to garner consideration for a roster spot next season. Shooting 64 percent from the field and proving to be a reliable shot-blocker and powerful finisher around the rim, Johnson made his mark this season in his limited role.
因为伤病而签下的10天短约临时工囧森，曾一度在首战中获得了MVP的呼声，他很好哋融入了球队。因此，后来球队也与他签约到赛季结束。64%的命中率，可靠的盖帽者以及油漆区的强力进攻终结者，他的表现足以让球队考虑下赛季是否把他留在大名单。

Gelabale also stepped in on a 10-day contract along with Chris Johnson and provided an immediate spark.
After his three-year sabbatical from the NBA, Gelabale came back and gave the Timberwolves what they needed, a versatile forward to eat up minutes in lieu of all the injuries.
Gelabale shot a career-high 51.8 percent from the field this season. He gave the offense whatever it needed on a given night.
That being said, Minnesota was just 2-8 when Gelabale logged over 25 minutes this season. While he had a nice comeback and likely earned himself a spot on a roster somewhere next season, there is just no room for him here. He did play reasonably well when given the chance, but it is unlikely he can do much more than what we've already seen.
格拉贝尔临时工，作为一个全能小前顶替受伤的队友，给狼队提供了所需的东西。在这个赛季里，他的命中率达到职业生涯最高的51.8%，防守也很努力。据说，当他上场超过25分钟的时候，狼队8胜2负。

Greg Stiemsma was brought in this season to give this team an intimidating defensive presence and block shots. With Pekovic always being prone to nagging injuries, it is important for them to have a solid option off the bench to come in and give him a rest when he needs it.
Stiemsma's production slipped this season. His blocks and field-goal percentage went down considerably. He showed flashes of the player he was last season with Boston, but overall, he did not live up to the billing.
Stiemsma's main issue is his inability to stay out of foul trouble. Far too often he would come in and immediately commit silly fouls while hedging out on screens or trying to swipe the ball from his man.
He needs to improve his overall defense. While he is a legitimate force blocking shots, the Wisconsin product gets lit up far too often. He does not body his man up and cheats for blocks too often instead of staying on the ground and banging with his man.
The Timberwolves got what they anticipated out of Stiemsma, just not enough of it. He was probably forced into playing a bit too many minutes due to the injuries, but more times than not he failed to step up when called upon.
狼队交易司马是看重了他的防守和盖帽，而且由于佩科比较易伤，给他找一个替补显得很重要。这个赛季司马的数据有所下滑，无论是命中率还是盖帽数。上个赛季他在波士顿十分闪耀，但他这个赛季的表现是对不起他的合同。他的问题在于他不能解决犯规问题，他经常愚蠢犯规。因此，他需要提高全面的防守能力。他是个合格的盖帽者，他不顶人老想着盖帽，而不是站在正确的位置顶住进攻球员。司马达到了狼队的预期，但显然这是不够的，因为他有可能由于伤病而要打更长的时间，但很多时候他都达不到要求。

Dealing Wayne Ellington for Dante Cunningham proved to be a solid move for this team. Ellington was never able to produce consistently enough to warrant big minutes, whereas Cunningham stepped in from day one and filled his role perfectly.
Rick Adelman used Cunningham as somewhat of a crutch this season. When he was hot, Adelman would leave him on the court and let his intensity resonate amongst the roster.
With Love and Derrick Williams being the big-name forwards on this team, Cunningham realized his role right away and never strayed too far from it. He was brought here to play defense and provide intensity, and he did exactly that.
Cunningham usually found himself on the court during crunch time for this team, as he is a smart player who knows his own strengths. He consistently knocked down the 15-18 foot jumpers and attacked the boards like a madman.
The 6'8" forward took advantage of the most playing time he's seen in his short career and ran with it. Cunningham had a career year across the board and looks to be a solid piece of this team for the future.
由于艾灵顿不能保证足够的的出场时间，狼队用他交易来康宁汉姆。在这赛季中，馒头哊几场把他当作核心，当他手热的时候，馒头也会一直把他留在场上，让他的激情带动队友。作为角色球员，康宁完成了他在防守和提供活力方面的任务。他经常在比赛焦灼的时候出现，是因为他经常防住15-18尺跳投者以及像疯子一样攻击篮筐。

The Russian spark plug was brought overseas this year amidst a solid amount of hype.
Shved had a very up-and-down rookie campaign. Coming into the league, shooting was supposed to be his main strong point. He struggled mightily at times with his shot this year, as his scoring went down every month after November.
What we did not expect from Shved was that he would be such an adept passer. When his shot wasn't falling (which was far too often), Shved showed no trouble getting to the rim and creating for his teammates. Shved averaged a solid 3.7 assists in his limited minutes.
The opportunity for Shved to seize the shooting guard spot for this team for years to come is still very much there. He absolutely must bulk up in order to avoid being a defensive liability; he has solid size and length, but at just 182 pounds, Shved lacks the strength to stand up to more powerful guards he will face on a nightly basis.
毛毛这赛季高开低走。在NBA，投篮本应该是他主要的强项，但他这赛季因为他的投篮而打得非常挣扎，从十一月份开始他的命中率就一直下降。我们没想到的是他的传球会如此老道，当他的投篮好的时候（很多时候都不好），他突破分球，为队友创造空间是没问题的。他能在有限的上场时间里提供3.7次助攻。毛毛还是有机会在SG这个位置上获取一席之地，只要他增加体重以免成为防守空洞，因为他哊身高优势。

For a role player, Budinger had a considerable impact on this team when he was healthy.
Minnesota had a winning record with a healthy Budinger in the lineup. Although he played only 23 games, his ability to spread the floor with his outside shooting and slash to the rim is something that nobody else on the roster is capable of.
Along with Love, Budinger is one of the best shooters on this team. Without the both of them, this team limped to the finish line as the worst three-point shooting team in the NBA.
Budinger was admittedly never 100 percent after his injury, but we saw glimpses of how he would prove to be a crucial part of this team early on before the meniscus tear. He is perfect for Rick Adelman's corner offense and has recently stated how important Adelman's decision is on him staying with Minnesota this offseason.
The script is still out on Budinger. He gave the team a shot in the arm at times this year and they would love to have him back.
作为一个角色球员，健康的补丁哥对于狼队来说很重要。虽然这赛季他只打了23场比赛，但他通过外线投射为球队拉开空间以及冲击篮下的能力，目前狼队还没有人可以做到。除了爱神，补丁是狼队最好的三分手，当他们俩都因伤缺席的时候，狼队三分命中率联盟垫底。他最适合馒头的底角进攻，因此，馒头的去留决定了他下赛季是否继续留在狼队。

Same old song and dance.
Barea has shown exactly what kind of player he is these last few years. He will drive teams crazy with his maddening attacks on the rim as he drives the lane with ease. Sometimes he can look like Kobe, and sometimes he can look like Adam Morrison.
Barea did exactly what he was expected to do this year. He came off the bench to provide instant offense when the team went through its lulls. This year he shot many more three-pointers than last year and his assists went down largely due to the return of Ricky Rubio, so there's not much to assess there.
His ability to shred defenses and get in the heads of defenders is vital to this team. While he has his cold spells, he has proved to hit big shots time and time again and this team flat out needs him.
巴里亚发疯哋攻击篮下让球队疯狂，因为他很容易就可以钻到篮下。打嘚好就是科比，打不好就是莫里森。巴里亚达到了狼队的预期。当狼队进攻减弱的时候，他在替补提供了紧急的火力。他这赛季投的三分比上赛季多，并且因为卢比奥的回归，助攻数也下降了。他撕裂对方防守以及突破的能力对于球队来说很重要。他哊关键球能力，当球队疲态尽显的时候，他能站出来。
等级：B-

Luke Ridnour was once again forced to play out of position this year. The bottom line is that this team is simply not going anywhere with him as the starting shooting guard.
Ridnour did have a solid season once again, as he always does. His assists dipped to a career low outside of his rookie season mostly due to playing off the ball so much.
He is what he is. Ridnour can hit open jumpers and has a calming effect on this young team. Regardless, he gets consistently dominated on the defensive end. Bigger guards blow past him and he resorts to slapping at the ball, usually resulting in and-ones.
Ridnour would be a very nice backup point guard in this league, which is what he was before he came to Minnesota, where he has been forced to do more. He slid into Brandon Roy's role this season and, to no fault of his own, he simply was not capable of providing what this team needed. Despite his solid season, this team will remain in a rut with him at shooting guard.
这赛季，里德诺被迫打SG，但他作为首发SG是球队难以接受的。他这赛季打嘚很稳定，他的助攻数比新秀赛季还低的原因是没有无球在手。他可以命中空位跳投，并且让球队冷静。虽然他防守端很努力，但当大个子球员晃过他的时候，他常去拍掉对方的球，通常会给人打2+1。里德诺是一个很好的替补球员，来到狼队之后，他被要求做得更多。这赛季，他扮演了罗伊的角色，他本身没有错，只是他的能力提供不了球队所需。

Derrick Williams took some big steps forward this season. He may not have lived up to his billing as the second overall pick just yet, but he is on his way.
Still only 21 years of age, D-Will eliminated some of the flaws in his game from his rookie season. Williams showed much more confidence in himself and pulled the trigger on three-pointers with no hesitation. He was much more decisive with the ball and quicker with his decision-making.
During his rookie year, Williams would look lost at times. While he still has a ways to go, he showed a propensity to hit the mid-range jumper with consistency as well as an ability to drive to the rim with much more force than the previous season. The result was a spike in scoring up to 12 points per game.
With Love out almost all year and Kirilenko and Budinger missing chunks of time as well, D-Will needed to step up, and he did exactly that. He averaged 15 points and 6.3 rebounds a game after the All-Star break when he consistently received starters' minutes.
Williams continued to expand his game without losing his identity. His noticeable spike in confidence was a welcome sight as he knocked down the mid-range jumper so consistently. He also didn't forget what he does best and threw down many thunderous dunks to make his point guards happy.
As far as draft prospects, we all know big men take longer to develop. At such a young age, Williams is showing the desire and work ethic to be great. Fans just need to be patient.
这个赛季榜眼哊了很大的进步，虽然他还是达不到作为榜眼的要求，但他正在进步着。他解决了新秀赛季以来的一些缺点，重拾自信，打球更果断。他偏爱中距离跳投，这赛季的突破也更强硬了，因此，他的场均得分上升到12.由于爱神几乎整个赛季的伤退以及AK和补丁长时间离队，榜眼的上场时间增多了。全明星赛后，榜眼获得了首发的上场时间，场均15分和6.3个篮板。值得注意的是，重拾自信是他连续命中中投的重要原因。作为球迷我们只需耐心等候，他正逐渐成长。

Andrei Kirilenko came to Minnesota last offseason after a one-year hiatus following the lockout. From day one, he has been an invaluable commodity to this roster.
The 32-year-old did not lose a step after playing a year in Europe. His numbers were right on par with his career averages, and he even set a career high in field-goal percentage this season.
Kirilenko's ability to impact a game on defense and get out and run with Rubio proved to be a perfect match in Minnesota. As the most experienced player on the roster, he acted like it at all times, mentoring the young Wolves.
AK-47's scoring dipped towards the end of the year, but he was such an important piece of the team this season. Adelman loved him and the unreal defensive intensity he brought, consistently guarding the opposing team's best perimeter threat.
Same story here. Kirilenko did not light the world on fire, but he gave this team what they paid for.
离开NBA一年后，AK重返NBA并在上赛季的休赛期与狼队签约。他是一位有价值的球员，32岁的他并没有因为在欧洲打了一年之后而状态下滑，他的数据达到职业生涯的平均水准，甚至命中率创新高。AK的防守能力以及跑位配合卢比奥在狼队来说完美无缺。并且作为球队最有经验的球员，他一直用他的经验带领着这群年轻的狼崽子。赛季末AK的命中率有所下降，但他仍然是球队中重要的一份子。馒头很喜欢他以及他带来的防守强度。

Now we reach the pride of Montenegro. The lovable muscular man in Minneapolis is heading into his contract year, and boy has he earned himself a serious payday.
Pekovic was the stabilizing force in Minnesota this season. With Love out, Pekovic took more of the scoring load upon his menacing shoulders and bulled his way through opposing centers as if they were cardboard cutouts.
Pek put up career numbers of 16.3 points and 8.8 rebounds per game in his first full season as a starter. He consistently held his own for this team in the midst of a lost season and did his damage as the No. 1 scoring option.
In a league devoid of talented bruising centers, Pekovic is that much more valuable. He is a mismatch every night strictly due to his brute strength. If he looks to add finesse to his game, as was mentioned in the above link, it would officially make him devoid of all weaknesses on offense. He finishes around the rim with both hands and can score with his back to the basket as well as on put-backs. His footwork is impeccable for a man his size. A jump shot would make him that much more of a nightmare.
The T-Wolves were 5-15 without this beast in the lineup this season. They simply cannot afford to let him get away and must open up their checkbooks for him. He is already the best center in franchise history, and it would be hard to pitch a Pek-less team to a fanbase so desperate for a winning team.
佩科迎来了他的合同期。这赛季，他为狼队提供了稳定的输出。当爱神不在的时候，他在进攻端承担了更多。当他整个赛季都首发出场后，他的数据上升到场均16.3分和8.8个篮板。在这个失败的赛季中他一直尽全力支撑着球队，并作为一号得分手展现出他的威力。在这个缺乏天才中锋的联盟中，佩科显得更有价值。由于他依靠蛮力进攻，所以他显得有些失调。如果他可以打嘚灵活些，他可以避免进攻上的弱点。他可以在油漆区背筐打以及偷袭。以他这个吨位来说，他的脚步是完美的。如果他学会跳投，那他将会变得更加可怕。狼队不可以失去他，休赛期必须与他签约。
