Minnesota Timberwolves

What’s not to like about the Minnesota Timberwolves?

Andrew Wiggins and Zach LaVine are growing young talent and exceptional leapers, perfect for actual highlight reels and NBA 2K17. Breaking out in transition or tearing past an opponent using a crisp spin move from Wiggins will deliver plenty of dynamic plays.

Playing fast in 2K is always a good way to enjoy the game. Dumping the ball in the post is never the best way to get buckets. Instead, LaVine to Wiggins (or vice versa) alley-oops will be far more entertaining, and frustrating for opponents to try and stop. Both players having high tendencies in the game to go for flashy dunks helps, too.

Then there’s Karl-Anthony Towns, one of the best elements of the NBA’s future as a player far beyond his years. He had an exceptional season in 2015-16 as Rookie of the Year, averaging 18.3 points, 10.5 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game while shooting 54.2 percent from the floor. Deservedly so, Towns has broken out with an 88 overall rating in 2K17 to make him one of the top 20 players in the game.

From hitting the occasional three, running the floor, burning opponents with his growing offensive repertoire to swatting players at the rim, 2K17 Towns will be nothing but fun to use.

And these aren’t the only pieces to make the Timberwolves a good go-to team. They drafted the athletic, playmaking point guard Kris Dunn with the 5th overall pick this year, and added several pieces in free agency to strengthen the team’s depth such as Brandon Rush, Jordan Hill and LA Clippers alum Cole Aldrich.

Essentially, the Timberwolves have more entertainment value and more talent now. Make them a go-to option to play with in 2K17 and watch on League Pass next season.
