Timberwolves Make SNEAKY Perfect Signing...

So today we begin with the Timberwolves make sneaky perfect signing as Timberwolves president Tim Connolly assigned not one but two well-known players to training camp contracts which of course will give them both an opportunity to grab that coveted and I do mean that coveted 15th spot on the Minnesota Timberwolves roster for the upcoming NBA season. Welcome back to the Timberwolves digest as always North America. I'm Dave Dubois and I bring you the latest Minnesota Timberwolves news trade reports trade rumors and of course a whole lot of commentary. Today we're going to talk about both of these well-known players. I want to know if you like these ideas as long-term potential players on the Minnesota Timberwolves or if you actually dislike them. We're going to start off with Drew Timmy who of course was famous for his time in collegiate basketball with Gonzaga. Former Lakers Drew Timmy has joined the Timberwolves for the upcoming training camp. He has signed a contract now there's Drew Timmy and the other player that the Timberwolves went out and got a deal done with recently is KJ Martin and if you're wondering where is KJ Martin been they actually did not play at all last season in the National Basketball Association. So if you're Tim Connolly just put yourself in Tim Connolly's shoes who would you ultimately end up choosing for the 15th roster spot? Now of course there is the possibility that Kevin Love will still become available and the Timberwolves will go in a completely different direction but assume that doesn't happen which of these two players would you want on this Minnesota Timberwolves roster? If you are new to the Timberwolves Digest please go ahead and subscribe and I always like to say if you like the pod well then go ahead and like the pod. So are you choosing KJ or are you choosing good old Drew Timmy? So let's talk about what Drew Timmy has actually done or I guess in some cases not done in the National Basketball Association so far in his career. He's had two seasons in the NBA with what can best be described as limited minutes in limited games. In the two seasons he was eligible to even play in the National Basketball Association Drew Timmy has put together a whopping 36 games in which he's had the opportunity to play. Split that between the Brooklyn Nets and the Los Angeles Lakers. Now played for the Lakers last season the year before he ended up playing for the tanking Brooklyn Nets and I have to say there were several games in which I thought Drew Timmy showed a lot of promise when he was playing for the tanking Brooklyn Nets. If I had to lean in one direction over the other direction I probably like the Drew Timmy upside a little bit more than I do KJ Martin at this point but it's not about me I want to know what your thoughts and opinions are. So a special shout out to our sponsor on the Timberwolves Digest today and that of course is Kelshi. Now on Kelshi you're trading directly against other users not the house like traditional sports folks you're buying yes or no contracts on the outcome of events across sports politics or even the weather as an example of all of that I put together a contract for the Timberwolves a $25 contract against a five percent chance of winning the NBA title. I don't know about you but I've been following this Minnesota Timberwolves team pretty heavily especially during the offseason and I can confidently tell you that five percent seems like a little bit low at least in my opinion. Quite frankly I think we all can agree that the third best team in the Western Conference and maybe even surprise some people along the way. So I think this is an interesting opportunity and this is what I'm going out and rolling the dice on so to speak.

So that's Kelshi our sponsor of the Timberwolves Digest today. So we took a look at what Drew Timmy has done throughout his short NBA career. I just wanted to sort of roll up what KJ Martin has done. Now look I thought KJ Martin at times especially when he was with the Philadelphia 76ers was a really solid player and certainly did a great job when he played for the Houston Rockets when the Rockets had decided they were going to be tanking and we'll get into some of those specific numbers in just a little bit but KJ Martin did not play last season. He actually ended up getting cut about a year ago was never picked up by another NBA team which of course surprised me last year because I thought KJ Martin still had a lot to offer especially when you consider he can sort of play multiple positions on the court. 8.6 points, 4 rebounds and 1.2 assists those are his stats for his career. Now I talked a little bit about what KJ Martin did when he was with the Houston Rockets back in the early 2020s. Can't believe I'm saying early 2020s at this point. Anyways his best season was in 22-23. He played in all 82 games, 12.7 points and 5.5 rebounds and a shooting percentage from the field of 56.9. Now remember Tim Connelly in the Minnesota Timberwolves especially in the makeup of this roster are looking for a couple things that don't exist on the roster today. The question is do you think a Drew Timmy who's only had two years of or two years of what I would call a drink of water in the NBA at this point has more upside in the long run for this Minnesota Timberwolves team for that 15th roster spot. I want to know what your thoughts and opinions are North America please go ahead and drop them in. So as we mentioned Drew Timmy has signed a deal to play with the Timberwolves at least during training camp. Training camp actually tips off on Tuesday so it'll be very interesting to see how this all actually plays out but real quick if you are Tim Connelly and you're making the big bucks to be the president of the Minnesota Timberwolves and once you get through training camp who are you picking? Now personally I'm going with Drew Timmy but I'd love to get your thoughts and your opinions. All right that is all that I have for you today on the Timberwolves Digest. Thanks so much for tuning in. As always in North America I'm Dave Duvall wishing you all a tremendous rest of your sports viewing day.
