When Jaylen Nowell was drafted by the Timberwolves with the 43rd-overall pick in the draft, it was a surprise to him.
The Wolves never worked Nowell out, but sometimes that’s how it goes, especially with second-round picks. Teams sometimes try to hide what they think could be a hidden gem.
Nowell comes to the Wolves as shooting guard, who is also comfortable handling the ball. Defensively, he said he can guard any position and while that confidence is a wonderful thing, we’ll see about that.
The most impressive thing about Nowell, besides the fact that he shot 45 percent from the 3-point line last season with Washington, is his attitude.
