When looking back on the Timberwolves’s offseason it might seem like the addition of Jeff Teague is an afterthought. However, his consistent scoring and ability to distribute should be the perfect balance that Minnesota was looking for after trading Ricky Rubio to Utah.

If he can improve as a 3-point shooter, Teague could help transform the T-Wolves into one of the most potent offenses in the NBA this year. Scoring should improve as all of their slew of young players and new additions develop chemistry.

And with Thibs running the show, Minnesota’s defense will never be an afterthought.
