2013 Minnesota Timberwolves Season Preview

The Minnesota Timberwolves look like one of the most exciting teams in the NBA this year.  Mainly because of one of the best big men in the NBA in Kevin Love, but also for the return of Brandon Roy back to the NBA after chronic knee injuries in Portland.  Here is how the T-wolves opening night lineup looks like:

  PG. Ricky Rubio

  SG. Brandon Roy

  SF.  Andrei Kirilenko

  PF. Kevin Love

  C. Nikola Pekovic

Sports Illustrated has the T-wolves finishing 9th in the Western Conference.  I would have to agree with that projection based on the fact that the T-wolves need to get healthy to be a force in the league.  It is exciting to see Brandon Roy back in the league and I think that he will provide to T-wolves with a very good veteran presence to a young lineup.  The biggest key for this team will be how Pekovic plays along side Kevin Love.  If Pekovic even provides a little bit of offense it will take the offensive pressure off of Kevin Love.
