Minnesota Timberwolves all time record: 667-922.  That's a .420 winning percentage.

You're basically the Rutgers of the NBA.  Retitle this post, The Timberwolves and the NBA Draft.  And rather than focusing on Flynn and Wes, list all of the bad Timberwolves draft picks:
1990 -Felton Spencer #6
1991-Luc Longley #7
1992-Christian Laettner #3
1993- JR Rider at #5 (Allen Houston was available, better, and not completely insane)
1994- Donyell Marshall #4 (not terrible but Eddie Jones, Jalen Rose, and Juwon Howard were better pros and were available)
1999 -Will Avery #14
I'll throw in the Joe Smith debacle that basically cost them the chance to blow their first round picks for like the next 5 years.
2005 - Rashad McCants at #14
2006 - Brandon Roy for Randy Foye.  Ouch.
2007 - Corey Brewer.  At #7?  Noah was available.
2011 - Derrick Williams at #2

I didn't even mention trading Ray Allen for Marbury(who was good). Obviously we know Marbury got out of Minn. as soon as possible.

Kevin Garnett and Kevin Love are the only high picks Minnesota has gotten right.  Don't pin your failures on us.
