Minnesota Timberwolves: Grading Jaylen Nowell's 2019-20 season
Jaylen Nowell was the Minnesota Timberwolves first round pick in 2019. After splitting his first season as a professional between Des Moines and Minneapolis, it's safe to say it was a success.
The Minnesota Timberwolves picked up Jaylen Nowell in the second round of the 2019 NBA Draft.
As the reigning Pac-12 Conference Player of the Year, it was a mild surprise that Nowell was still on the board. Across just two seasons at Washington, Nowell averaged 16.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, but he improved his 3-point shooting percentage from a decent 35.1 as a freshman to a fantastic 44 percent as a sophomore. His overall field goal percentage was an impressive 50.2 percent.
