The Minnesota Timberwolves wanted to bring in Tosan Evbuomwan (Princeton) for a workout for several reasons. For starters, he is a highly regarded forward who helped lead Princeton into the 2023 NCAA Basketball Tournament. Unlike many forwards who are transitioning from college to the pros, Tosan Evbuomwan has a unique set of basketball skills that are best seen than read about.
For starters, he is a 6-foot-8 217-pound point forward who has a battery of sports and athletic skills in his CV, including soccer, rugby, and track and field. All of these combine to make Evbuomwan a very intriguing candidate for the Timberwolves to consider.

Figured I'd look him up. I know they don't make player comps for guys unlikely to be drafted. But if they did, this dude's comp would 100% be Kyle Anderson. pic.twitter.com/keaCEBDVMw
Kyle Anderson, eh?
He is a unique hybrid of skillsets, blessed with size and ball-handling skills that truly do give a flair and similarity to the Minnesota Timberwolves’ own Kyle Anderson. Here is a video of this young man’s skillset
With a player who was introduced to the sport at 14 years of age, his upside is still rising. He has a number of skills that the Timberwolves could covet.
In the end, the Timberwolves are seeking the best value and roster fit. Right from the start, Evbuomwan sets a high bar. He is a versatile forward, has a solid defensive presence on the basketball court, is a dependable facilitator, and has enough offense to put opponents on their heels.
