The Minnesota Timberwolves and wing A.J. Lawson have agreed on a one-year, two-way contract according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Lawson, 6-foot-6 wing, was fifth in overall scoring at NBA Las Vegas Summer League, playing for the Dallas Mavericks. The former University of South Carolina standout averaged 15.6 points per game on 51.9/50.0/84.6 shooting splits, 6.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists-to-2.2 turnovers, 0.8 steals and 0.6 blocks in 29.5 minutes per game across five matchups in Sin City.
“The key areas I wanted to show, three levels of scoring I can do: I can shoot the trey-ball, I can hit the mid-range, I can get to the basket,” the 22-year-old Lawson told Sports Illustrated this week.
