When the Minnesota Timberwolves announced their 2023 Minnesota Timberwolves Summer League roster, I have to admit to a smile appearing on my face with the realization that two of the G-League affiliate Iowa Wolves had been named to the roster. Why? The Timberwolves are affording an opportunity to players who have been part of their G-League team, the Iowa Wolves, an opportunity to be noticed by their own coaching staff as well as other NBA teams.
I am a strong proponent of promoting from within, if for no other reason than simply the goodwill that the process infuses into the Minnesota Timberwolves locker room.
