The 2020–21 Minnesota Timberwolves season was the 32nd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA) On February 21, 2021, the Timberwolves fired head coach Ryan Saunders after three seasons with the team.[1] On the following day, Toronto Raptors assistant head coach Chris Finch was announced as the next head coach.[2] After a loss to the Sacramento Kings on April 21, followed by the San Antonio Spurs defeating the Detroit Pistons the next day, the Timberwolves were eliminated from playoff contention for the third straight year.[3]

Draft

Main article: 2020 NBA draft
Round Pick Player Position Nationality School / club team
1 1 Anthony Edwards Guard  United States Georgia
1 17 Aleksej Pokuševski Forward  Serbia Olympiacos
2 33 Daniel Oturu Center  United States Minnesota

Before the start of the 2020 NBA draft period, the Timberwolves' selection was held stuck as the #3 selection of the draft with their record being the third-worst of all NBA teams the prior season at 19–45 before the NBA suspended their season on March 12, 2020, and cancelled the rest of Minnesota's season by June 5.[4] As a result, they held the best odds to move up at #1 alongside the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors for the 2020 draft, though also held odds to fall as low as the #6 pick of the draft. This year, the Timberwolves ended the 2020 NBA draft lottery with the #1 selection, moving up two spots from their initial projection. In addition to their first-round pick, the Timberwolves also held their second-round pick and gained a first-round picks from a previous trade involving the Brooklyn Nets. They traded the Number 17 pick and James Johnson for Ricky Rubio, the number 25 and 28 overall picks.[5] They then traded the number 25 and 33 overall picks for the 23rd overall pick.[5]
