The Minnesota Timberwolves offseason looks likes it’s starting to wrap up after re-signing Jarred Vanderbilt and Jordan McLaughlin to extensions.

Minnesota open’s their regular season schedule at home against the Houston Rockets on Oct. 20. Unless an unexpected trade happens, the Wolves will be entering the regular season with an expected depth chart that looks like this:

PG: D’Angelo Russell, Patrick Beverley, Jordan McLaughlin
SG: Anthony Edwards, Malik Beasley, Josh Okogie, Jaylen Nowell, McKinley Wright IV
SF: Jaden McDaniels, Josh Okogie, Jake Layman
PF: Jarred Vanderbilt, Tareaun Prince
C: Karl-Anthony Towns, Naz Reid, Nathan Knight

Despite locking up Vanderbilt to an extension and trading for Prince, the Wolves lack depth in their frontcourt. Towns’ has primarily been a durable player, but that hasn’t been the case over the last two seasons. He oftentimes finds himself in foul trouble, which leaves the Wolves with Reid as their only backup.

Knight can play center if need be, but he’s on a two-way contract and won’t be available every game.

Minnesota has a variety of lineup combinations and probably won’t start the same five every game. If they want more offense, they can start Beasley and slide McDaniels to the four. The other option is starting Beverley next to Russell to add some defensive firepower.

The Timberwolves have enough depth at the one and two positions, and it’s easy to wonder where Nowell and McLaughlin find playing time. Both players have shown they can be effective in the NBA, but not enough to feel comfortable with them cemented as true backups.

If the Wolves need a spark plug or there’s foul trouble, either player is capable of coming in and succeeding expectations. McLaughlin always seems to make the right play, and Nowell can create his own shot with ease.

For a team vying for a playoff spot, having lineup versatility is a good thing. It would be nice to have consistency on a nightly basis, but the NBA is constantly changing, and Minnesota doesn’t match up well with every team.

For instance, if they were to play the Warriors, it might be smarter to start Beverley so he can defend Stephen Curry.

Minnesota has a fairly larger lineup, with Russell being the smallest player (6-foot-4). Even he’s bigger than most point guards and creates an advantage with his large wingspan of 6-foot-10.

Minnesota’s roster still needs work, but they’ve had a decent offseason. They didn’t have much money to spend, and they were able to trade Jarrett Culver and Juancho Hernanagomez. Either play wasn’t going to see much playing time, so it only made sense to move on from them.

The Timberwolves are a talented team and should be able to fight for a playoff spot, or at the very least, an opportunity at the play-in.
