The newcomers to the Timberwolves this season, LaMelo Ball and Jonathan Kuminga, will be playing larger or more important roles than they have previously in the NBA. To manage their minutes, Chris Finch must run a deep rotation.

After acquiring Jonathan Kuminga and Cody Williams last week, the Minnesota Timberwolves still need more size to round out their roster — these five free agents could help with that.
