Well, the Minnesota Timberwolves have finally come to the point where they have announced their new and improved Official Summer League Roster. While the news has not come with a great deal of pomp and ceremony, it is all eagerly anticipated after the team sent two of their marquee players (and a lot more) to the Utah Jazz in return for center Rudy Gobert.
While the Timberwolves end up with Gobert, I have to admit a bit of disappointment now that there will not be any Walker Kessler to watch, enjoy, and analyze from the Summer League contests.
But there are plenty of fresh faces on the roster, and that means? Yes, more feature articles on additional players.
After all, you never know when one player gets hot, makes the team, and an unexpected NBA career suddenly takes off.
