3 things to know about Timberwolves SL F George Conditt IV

The Minnesota Timberwolves assembled an NBA Summer League roster, traded some players from that roster, and then had to scramble a bit to restock their roster. But in the process, we lost that valuable lead time needed to make proper introductions.

Well, we are here to correct that chronologically-created oversight.  Let’s start off by taking a look at forward George Conditt IV, and sharing some key facts about the young Minnesota Timberwolves front-court hopeful.

For starters, he declared for the 2022 NBA Draft but did not hear his name called at the event. Still, he has some intriguing qualities that should not be quickly cast aside. Such as:

III – Low volume, high accuracy shooting

Conditt is not a shooter. But when he shoots, he will typically make the shot. That’s not much, but it’s just one of the little things that Conditt can bring to the Timberwolves. After all, the team is going to focus on lob passing with Rudy Gobert on the floor.  Conditt could be a natural extension of that strategy.

While he only averaged 4.3 points per game in four seasons with Iowa State, he was there to score for them in March Madness highlights, so that’s a fun place to start.

II – He is a big player who can be coached up

The Timberwolves have two starting bigs, but not much size playing behind starters Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns. Conditt is a 6-foot-10 222-pound center/power forward who is mature enough to handle intense coaching, but young and raw enough to be worth the investment. He is playing for Gigantes de Carolina in the Puerto Rico BSN and is averaging 11.3 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 1.4 APG, and 1.7 BPG.

He is still raw, but he can be effective on both sides of the basketball court. The Timberwolves need front-court players. Conditt would be a nice insurance policy to develop on their G-League affiliate.

I – He loves to rebound

The Minnesota Timberwolves need rebounding. Conditt has only played 13 minutes in two Summer League contests, but he piled up six rebounds in that short amount of time. That is a Hoover-vacuum-like performance for a young man in what was his summer league debut.

While he only scored two points on just two shots and one assist, it’s clear that he loves to work near the rim. Not only that, but he does great work near the hoop as well. He may not land an NBA contract, but don’t let that stop you from watching him compete. He is worth watching.
