As the Minnesota Timberwolves look set to have their most successful season in over a decade, transforming into a team that superstars short-list as playing destinations, three Wolves players look primed for a breakout season.

Something bizarre is happening in Minnesota.

Expectation.

As a fan, I have not been this excited about a season for a long time. With additions such as Jimmy Butler, Jeff Teague, Taj Gibson and Jamal Crawford, the Timberwolves’ depth and quality are the best it has been in a long time. Also, if you are to believe the current rumor mill, there may be another big name player joining the ranks soon.

However, regardless of any moves that may or may not be made in the coming weeks, three players look like they might breakout this season.

The concept of the ‘breakout’ season is a tricky one actually to pin down. There are three types of a breakout season.

Players around the league who break out due to having a significant role on a bad team, for example, Myles Turner will have a chance at being ‘the man’ in Indiana. The ‘finally have an opportunity to make a job their own’ breakout season. The ‘people start to notice how good they are’ breakout season.

The Wolves have three players primed for breakout seasons, and for a lovely change, it isn’t because of the first point.
