6 Timberwolves Summer League fireworks skyrocketing across the scene
By Tim Garrison
Matteo Spagnolo – Guard ( Pick #50 – 2022 NBA Draft)
The Timberwolves International man of mystery. Spagnolo has spent this last season honing his craft in Italy, posting a solid year in a grown man’s league for a 20-year-old. Spagnolo is a high-IQ combo guard who can play on and off the court. He has an outstanding ability to probe and take what the defense gives him plus playmaking.

While his shooting splits from deep may not look pretty, Spagnolo has great form as a shooter, which is the key swing skill in becoming an NBA rotation player. It appears we may not get the chance to see him this summer league as he may be held out of play due to an injury.
Spagnolo is sitting on the bench and has been practicing with the team. I’d heard he was dealing with an injury, and I’d assume that’s the reason he’s not playing. https://t.co/awqEASTqyE
