All Things 2025 Minnesota Timberwolves Off-Season Thread







Well that was a choice. Averaged 5 & 4 in that vaunted Serbian Pro League and not even a whiff of an offensive game outside of rim running. Possibly a decent backup C in 2-3 years.

Take the more established, proven player like Walter Clayton Jr at 17 and THEN roll the dice at 31 on a guy with "potential". Disappointing.

I think Clayton could have come right in and contribute at TSJ-level. Feels like a stash pick. Maybe Dillingham can take a massive step up and fill the PG void.

I liked Clayton and he would have been my choice here. That said, TSJ is seven years older Berenger. I don't know if we have a ton of minutes in the rotation for another young guard looking to get PT. Our staff does like Jaylen Clark, TSJ and Dillingham and with Ant and NAW able to play some guard minutes, I'm not sure if there is much opportunity for a young PG.

I also think we bring in a veteran PG (wouldn't be shocked if it's Lonzo Ball).
 




So I’d guess they’re going to try resign NAW then and hope dilly/TJ plus Ant getting more efficient is the key

NAW is gone. We have about $9 million to spend on two spots according to what I'm reading.

No I’m figuring he is, now was just meaning it’s a window to offer him something and see. Can’t remember if what I’d seen had our picks on the books yet
 







That's a tough one. NAW is better overall, but ddv is the better shooter. Usually.
problem with ddv is that's all he offers you. when he's on, he can be lights out. He's a career 38% 3 pt shooter so he will always be that. His defensive rating is actually higher than NAWs, though NAW is drawing far better scorers typically when he's on the floor so I concur on the eye test you all share as well.
The turnovers are the part that kills me. If DDV played as a spot up 3pt shooter and stopped trying to handle, he'd be a vastly better player. NAW is better going to the basket than DDV and it's not close.

Great point. DDV would even be a better 3 point shooter if he just took the same 3s that naw took. I don't like when he shoots way far back or off of dribble. If he could stop the bad turnovers and just take open catch and shoot 3s, he would be more valuable to wolves than naw. I don't think he can pull it off though

Probably should have just read this instead of posting. Agreed 💯
 





You need to get DDV off the ball he is not a point guard catch and shoot.. DDV plays D with some physicality that’s why I like him out there defensively plays tough… if they had a competent backup PG last year DDV and NAW would have been spared some of their point guard duties…
get a point with some penetrate and dish skills......and DDV is much better. Brunson would penetrate and then kick.

We need that here in Minnesota.
 





Not for $3.6M when you are right up against the second apron. They must really, really, really value him as a locker room guy.
On his Veteran's contract, only $2.4M counts towards our Cap which is basically what Garza and Minott were being paid.

I would've had Ingles on our bench this season but as a coach, not a player. That's a valuable roster spot. It wasn't that long ago when we gave a roster spot to an undrafted Rookie that showed potential.
