Minnesota Timberwolves
Western · Northwest · proj. 48-34 (▲+1.8)
→

A high-energy connector guard who lives on movement, smarts and defense — a pesky perimeter pest (1.3 steals) who keeps the ball moving (3.8 assists). The shot can stray (40.6% from the field) but he buried 37.9% of his threes, and he played all 82 games as exactly the steady three-and-D glue piece a contender wants.
