There are a vast number of players on the Minnesota Timberwolves roster who are actively competing for international teams for the 2023 FIBA World Cup competition. And as such, it’s a fun opportunity to take a look at the team’s active and retired international players as well.
The process of NBA teams holding the rights of international players occurs through the NBA Draft. Once drafted, players are either already signed to a contract that obligates them to an international team or players are subsequently assigned to play internationally to perfect their less-than-NBA-worthy basketball skills. With the Minnesota Timberwolves heading to compete internationally, it’s probably as good of a time as ever to discuss the players who the Timberwolves had drafted and stashed overseas once more.
