Iowa Wolves/G League talk

It’s only been one game but I’d imagine that Bowen is stolen from the Wolves the second ten days are allowed. Maybe even sooner.

Gives a chance for the team to see all three guys play tonight before the club flies to Memphis tomorrow.

Unless Wolves clear cap space with a trade & say sign Knight to a FT deal & give Bowen other 2-way deal.

It's only a matter of time before Knight is given a shot & with our current lack of bigs....Knight can give us some rebounds & edge/grit that's still sorely lacking?

Knight in the same way as Naz is is probably the second most offensively talented forward option we have to put next to KAT (with Naz being #1). However, Knight in the NBA probably mirrors year 1 Naz in terms of production.

Numbers wise...that's probably fair comp or expectations. He might be though a slightly more athletic version of Naz (especially rookie year Naz).

I will link to his stats below. 6’6 with a 6’6 wingspan. Undrafted in 2021 and spent the year in the G. He is a good rebounder relative his position averaging 6.6 to go along with 11.8 points on 33.8% 3 point shooting. His free throws are serious problem at 54.5% last year. The second link is to a Mavs article about him and one other player, they list his summer league numbers, including over 50% 3 point shooting.

Based on his SL box scores FT shooting is no longer a concern. First couple games were incredible, but he regressed after those.

True, but also worth noting that the competition level in SL is below that of the G. Overall I think this was a good move. I fear his wingspan is a problem, but we needed extra SF depth, and this is that.

G League and Summer League twitter are speaking very highly of this signing.

Looks like a solid pickup, especially if his shooting has improved that much. Mavs twitter really liked him and wanted him on a 2way.

Draining 3s and behind the back dribbles. He looked like Wilt playing with a bunch of children.

Found on hoopshype “ JD Shaw: The Timberwolves have re-signed big man Nathan Knight, who played 37 games with the team on a two-way deal last season. 40 mins ago – via Twitter JShawNBA”

Hopefully we can poach someone like David Johnson from Toronto for PG if we are looking for one to develop in Iowa on a 2 way

I would love to steal Jamaree Bouyea from MIA. He had a very poor SL, but I am kind of believer. This kid has potential

He signed an exhibit 10 with the Heat on the 12th. I think that means he is stashed, can someone please confirm?
