0 roto titles · 37 seasons (1989-90–2025-26)
A Roto Champ title has eluded the Minnesota Timberwolves for 37 seasons. The closest call was 1999-00, 2nd of 29. They have finished in the top three four times without ever closing it out. Their average finish is 16.0 all time, against 12.4 over the last ten seasons, so the recent decade has been the better one.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Kevin Garnett in 2003-04, worth an 18.6 z-score. He owns 11 of the franchise’s 50 best seasons outright. Worth knowing before you read the All-Franchise Team below: Al Jefferson and Andrew Wiggins both rate above a player who made it, and missed only because the center slots were full.
