Did Kevin Garnett join the Minnesota Timberwolves for the first time?

In the 1995 NBA draft, Garnett was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the fifth place in the first round, becoming one of the few players who entered the NBA directly from high school and the first high school student under the age of 20 to be selected in the NBA draft. On Garnett's growth path, john hammond, the manager of basketball affairs of Piston Club, is a key figure. Hammond has a unique eye. He found Garnett in the high school league and introduced him to Chicago training camp at 1995. Garnett became famous overnight. In the same year, the fifth place in the first round of the NBA draft was selected by the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves signed a huge contract with him, which became a sensational news at that time.

First of all, Kevin Garnett has excellent offensive and defensive abilities. On the 2020 Hall of Fame list, Kobe Bryant and Garnett are both in. Entering the Hall of Fame can be said to be a recognition of strength. Garnett can enter with Kobe, which undoubtedly proves Garnett's strength. Garnett is very strong in the back-playing period and the small ball era, because his position is more versatile, in other words, his offensive and defensive ability is excellent. Obviously Garnett's strength is very strong. If Garnett's offensive and defensive ability is average, Garnett will not enter the Hall of Fame and will not shine in the era of back-playing. So Garnett's offensive and defensive abilities are excellent, so he is actually underestimated.

Secondly, he is one of the pioneers with vague positions. Garnett's official height is 2 1 1CM, but Garnett said in an interview that his height is about 2 16CM, so Garnett's positioning is very vague. Sometimes Garnett is a small forward, but sometimes Garnett becomes a power forward. 2 16CM is tall enough for Garnett to play center, but Garnett is a forward. Obviously, Garnett was one of the pioneers of fuzzy position in that era. If Garnett is only good at playing small forward or power forward, the team will not attach great importance to Garnett. So Garnett is one of the pioneers with vague position, so he is actually underestimated.
