Nickeil Alexander-Walker is NBA's most underrated defender and biggest X-factor in Timberwolves' title hopes

After being taken with the 17th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, expectations were high for Nickeil Alexander-Walker. The cousin of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander showed some flashes of promise, but inconsistent play led him to being traded twice in his first four seasons. Don't let his modest 8.0 points per game during the regular season fool you. Alexander-Walker can turn a playoff series for the Wolves.
