It was quite the surprise on opening night for the Minnesota Timberwolves when Bones Hyland received minutes while Rob Dillingham was a DNP-CD. It wasn’t too long until Dillingham surpassed Hyland on the depth chart, but since December 8, again, Bones is the one who is receiving playing time.
Now 25 years old, Hyland has definitely added some juice to a bench that was lacking production outside of Naz Reid. Still, Hyland seemingly has been given a luxury that hasn’t been afforded to Dillingham.

After trailing by two after one quarter on Monday night, the Timberwolves outscored the Chicago Bulls 115-78 to secure a 35-point blowout win.
