Minnesota Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves never got an opportunity to see what Markkanen could bring to their roster due to involving him in the LaVine-Butler trade. But Minnesota has a chance to add the floor-spacing power forward this offseason if they want to.

While Markkanen averaged a career-low 13.6 points this season, he did make a career-best 40.2 percent of his three-point attempts.

Markkanen’s ability to knock down threes and space the floor could make him a coveted free agent for certain teams. Injuries have been a concern for Markkanen, which could cause other teams to pass on the former first-round pick.

With the Timberwolves being a small-market team, getting a player like Markkanen would be a solid addition to the roster.
