Now that the Timberwolves have used one open roster spot to sign center Greg Smith for a 10-day audition, they are shopping the D League and released NBA players for an athletic wing player to fill their other.
Interim head coach Sam Mitchell wants to find a player with NBA experience that the team can evaluate now and bring to training camp next fall with a real chance to make the team.
On a team that needs better shooting, Mitchell said Thursday he wants someone who can shoot, defend and upgrade an area where the Wolves already have Zach LaVine, Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns running and jumping.
