The Timberwolves could potentially use James Nunnally in Jamal Crawford‘s role, Patrick Reusse of The Star Tribune writes. Head coach Tom Thibodeau has developed a fondness for using a three-guard offense off the bench.
In a comprehensive feature, Reusse details Nunnaly’s path to the Timberwolves in 2018. The swingman went undrafted in 2012 and has made several stops around the NBA and abroad since.
Nunnally has proven that he can be potent deep threat while also contributing defensively. If he can come anywhere close to the .554 he shot from beyond the arc in Germany last year, it will be a marked improvement over the .331 that Crawford shot in 2017/18.
There’s more from the Timberwolves today:
- The Timberwolves have officially ruled Justin Patton out indefinitely. The team issued a press release that said the center will have surgery in the near future.
- The upcoming season will have massive implications for the Timberwolves’ future, Drew Maresca of Basketball Insiders writes. At present, only one of the three stars in Minnesota’s locker room are signed long-term. Jimmy Butler and Karl-Anthony Towns can be free agents next summer.
- Last night we asked readers to tell us what they think will come of this Timberwolves team. Weigh in at our Community Shootaround.
Implying that Wiggins is a star?
He is so frustrating, and the contract is a real pain.
i am a big jimmy buckets fan (bulls fan) but hes been a locker room issue his whole career
“What will come of the Timberwolves team?” They will stink as they have since the team’s inception.
KAT is the future.
I’ll always remember Nunnally as the guy who had the lowest overall in 2K17. Nice to see him finally getting some respect.
