After the KAT transfer, the Wolves now have the best seven top 100 players in the league

The Timberwolves made a blockbuster trade, sending Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks, but who won the deal? According to The Ringer's ranking of the top 100 NBA players released in June, Minnesota now has the top seven players in the league on the list.

The site's top 100 was last updated following the conclusion of the NBA Finals before the offseason on June 20. Anthony Edwards remains the team's best player and one of the best in the league at No. 8 overall. Towns is ranked 32nd, but Minnesota acquired Julius Randle, ranked 45th, and Donte DiVincenzo, ranked 93rd, in the deal with New York.

Other Timberwolves on the list include Rudy Gobert at No. 34, Jaden McDaniels at No. 65, Naz Reid at No. 79 and Mike Conley Jr. at No. 91.

The Celtics are the only other team in the league with six players on the roster, while the Knicks, Thunder, Rockets and Pelicans each have five.

A new seven-man rotation of all top-100 players with Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Joe Ingles as the eighth and ninth reserves shows that Minnesota has the deepest roster in the NBA. Losing a player like Towns can always impact team chemistry, but they now have more options than any other team in the league.
