#4 Minnesota Timberwolves

Boasting of a trio of Karl-Anthony Towns, Jimmy Butler, and Andrew Wiggins, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been placed as high as the third seed in the West this year. Currently recording 43-33 on the season, the Wolves find themselves in the seventh spot.

Tom Thibodeau's side is currently on track to end their 13-season playoffs drought. Incidentally, Minnesota's best ever finish in the NBA came just a year earlier when Kevin Garnett propelled them to a Western Conference Finals finish where they were eliminated by Kobe Bryant and the Lakers.

Despite being in the bottom half of the playoffs seed, the Timberwolves can still go deep in the playoffs this year given their talented roster. They may even challenge for the title in the next few seasons given the monumental rise of the 2015-16 Rookie of the Year Karl-Anthony Towns.
