One player from every Northwest Division rival the Utah Jazz could use

Minnesota Timberwolves
Unlike with Denver, the most coveted player for the Utah Jazz off of the Minnesota Timberwolves is in fact, Kyle Anderson. Anderson fits the win-now mentality that Danny Ainge is hoping to bring into the 2024-2025 season and his skillset fits in well with star-caliber players. If the Jazz do add a major name, then that player, plus Lauri Markkanen will make a formidable duo. All they'll need is someone like Anderson who can play defense, pass, and rebound. The occasional three-point shot wouldn't hurt but Anderson did have ad own year shooting from deep.
He shot just 23% from three but also didn't have a lot of opportunities, shooting less than one attempt per game. That said, he still does have a +2.7 DBPM and since that's his forte (that and his passing), I'm not too worried about his three-point shot.
If not Anderson, then Monte Morris may be the guy to go get. As with Anderson, Morris is a free agent with no hangups. He only played in 28 games, but he shot 42% from three and had a DBPM of +2.2. He'd be a huge get for the Jazz, with or without Anderson.
