The Timberwolves have a tough decision on their hands this offseason, when Shabazz Muhammad will become an unrestricted free agent. The team has to decide if they want to persuade him to return or if they want to head in another direction.

Muhammad is the Wolves’ best player off the bench. He led the bench in scoring with 9.8 points a game. In addition, he shot a 48 percent from the field, helping him be more efficient on the court.

Despite playing 13 minutes less than Dieng, Muhammad was able to average only 0.1 less points per game. He is a good scorer off the bench and that is something the Timberwolves were in desperate need of all season.
