Yat, Trevion and Brandon Williams look interesting from the few on this list I watched.

The starting lineup is probably Carton (was great in Iowa last season. Definitely a 2-way candidate), Moore, Minott, and either Bowen or Waardenburg depending on if they want to start Miller at center.

Seems like they’re taking fliers on big guys who can shoot with Waardenburg and Yat. Should help Miller in Iowa a lot. I’m very intrigued by both Williams guys and Galloway.
Rest in peace Mamba. There'll never be another Kobe.

From a couple of days ago:

Read on Twitter


Hopefully Spagnolo is able to play. I'd love to see how his game has progressed from last year's summer league.

It's kind of a weird roster, there are 14 guys between 6'6"-6'10" with no true center. The G-League team last year was similar, so I wonder if the roster construction is on purpose or if centers just aren't willing to sign up with the Wolves.

On one hand it leads me to believe that they are keeping Naz. If they knew he was gone, I'm guessing they would have brought in at least a few prospects to potentially back up gobert.

On the other hand, who was Denver's backup center in the playoffs?

Trevion Williams is the best passing big in gleague. I hope he, Minott, Moore and Miller at least will have some fun in SL

I loved his game in college. I was selfishly hoping for a Naz-like body transformation, but that’s probably not realistic.

It sounds like they might be on the patient side when it comes to handing out the three two-way contracts. I kinda like Carton for one, maybe Trevion for another. But still lots to be determined.

Is Carton known for being uberathletic comboguard? He looked a bit mechanical in gleague not sure if he ever can play PG in NBA

I like the idea of him. Unfortunately a near even AST:TO ratio and no shooting mean he's just not an NBA calibre player right now.

SL rosters must be unlimited because Jaylen Clark is on the roster and he will not play. I went last year and really enjoyed it. I'll probably go again this year.

I did not realized that DJ Carton averaged 16.2ppg, 4.2rpg, 5.7apg, 1.2spg with 53-37-81 efficiency. He also had 2.9 turovers per game...

He’s freaking awesome. I have wanted Minnesota to sign him so badly.

Kok Yat looks like Siakam
