Who's on the Timberwolves' Summer League roster?

The most notable names on the roster are probably rookies Rob Dillingham and Terrence Shannon Jr. The Wolves have high hopes the pair of first round picks can provide a spark to an offense that finished middle-of-the-road last season.

Leonard Miller and Josh Minott will likely have plenty of eyes on them, too. Neither forward has seen much playing time in the NBA, but they're both young and there's hope yet they can develop into contributors on the Wolves' stacked roster.

Here's the full Summer League roster:

  • James Bishop 
  • Jaylen Clark 
  • Javonte Cooke 
  • Rob Dillingham 
  • Nojel Eastern 
  • Jesse Edwards 
  • Nadir Hifi 
  • Gabe Kalscheur 
  • Jaedon LeDee 
  • Leonard Miller
  • Josh Minott 
  • Daishen Nix

How does Summer League work?

After each of the NBA's 30 teams plays four games, the four best teams by winning percentage will advance to the playoffs.

The semifinal games will be played on Sunday, with the winners advancing to the championship on Monday.
