In that same game Leonard Miller dropped a triple double with 21/11/10 in 38 minutes. Minott shot 11-16 (only 1-4 from 3 so 10 of 12 from 2,) for 23 points on 23/4/6/1/1 in 37 minutes.

Regarding Cooke, we saw Nowell do stuff like like this when he was in the G. But the 3 didn’t translate to the NBA. It is hard to get minutes for Minott and Miller much less Cooke in the NBA. Though if we trade for a PG I would be fine waiving Nix and replacing him with Cooke as a two way.

It's very possible that if Minnesota makes a 2-for-1 or 3-for-2 trade that Clark gets the 14th rosters spot. It makes sense with him potentially returning from injury and having less than a year of NBA experience. He would be extremely cheap. If Clark goes to a traditional contract a two-way would open.

Naz Reid was already on a two-way deal when they bumped him up to that contract. Better to give it to someone who's already been in the Minnesota system than someone who has never stepped foot up here.

If you give it to Clarke you accelerate a process you don’t want to accelerate and cost yourself money or control later. If it has to be someone Nix or Garza are both better.

Minimums are tied to years of service. Clark is a rookie. Nix and Garza are not. You'd be paying more now, which could accelerate things even more.

Do you know that Josh Minott is an NBA player?
