With the ever-expanding talent pool, additional two-way roster spots, and team construction limitations from the new CBA, identifying undrafted free agents will be more important than ever. In recent years, we’ve seen plenty of players go undrafted and carve out roles and prolonged careers. Names like Austin Reaves (there were some agent shenanigans that went into that one), Jose Alvarado, Luguentz Dort, and the Minnesota Timberwolves’ own Naz Reid all have proven that they not only belong in the league but are worthy of significant roles.
The Timberwolves only have the No. 53 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
