3. Jarrett Culver, Minnesota Timberwolves
Things have not panned out for Jarrett Culver since he was selected 6th overall in 2019. The Minnesota Timberwolves traded the draft rights to Cameron Johnson and Dario Saric to the Phoenix Suns for the draft rights to Culver and it is likely a move they would like a redo on.
It does not take much of a deep dive to see that Jarrett Culver has struggled to gain any positive traction in his NBA career in Minnesota. He has struggled mightily shooting the ball, ranking 206th out of 207 players who averaged at least 20 minutes per game during his rookie season.
In his sophomore season, his production slipped further and he struggled with injuries. During that time and with new head coach Chris Finch, Jarrett Culver has watched himself get buried on the depth chart.
Jaylen Nowell, who was selected in the second round of the 2019 NBA Draft, has outperformed him. Anthony Edwards was selected with the first overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, another wing player. The team still has Malik Beasley and D’Angelo Russell will play some minutes off-ball alongside another point guard.

At this point in time, a change of scenery seems best for both parties. Jarrett Culver is a hard worker, so getting a clean slate with a new franchise could yield better results as he continues developing.
