Timberwolves notable in NBA.com's GM survey

Wolves fall hard to the Milwaukee Bucks during a preseason game at the Kohl Center in Madison, Wis.

After surveying the league’s general managers, NBA.com released the results gauging the best teams, players, coaches and other items before the 2015-16 NBA season. What does it mean? Perhaps nothing, but fresh (and some not so fresh) faces on the Timberwolves represented in multiple arenas.
