The NBA’s 10-day contracts can be so fleeting for its development-league players aspiring to reach the big show, but for Timberwolves training-camp invitee Marcus Georges-Hunt one of those was long enough.
He signed such a contract with Miami last February and never played a game for the Heat. Yet he called that short time spent around coach Erik Spoelstra and executive Pat Riley invaluable, particularly for a guy who now has signed on to play for the Wolves’ Tom Thibodeau.
A four-year starter at Georgia Tech, Georges-Hunt played most of last season with Maine as well as Sioux Falls in the development league after he went to training camp with Boston.
