It’s something of a pivotal season for Wolves forward Nemanja Bjelica. After two up and down years with the Wolves, he heads into the third and final year of his contract with, perhaps, his NBA career at stake. He is not a young player and will be 30 when he reaches free agency next summer, so if he’s going to earn another NBA contract, it likely will require showing his talents more consistently this season.
Bjelica was drafted in the second round of the 2010 draft, officially by the Washington Wizards but on behalf of the Wolves in a trade.
