Timberwolves Has Full Training Camp Roster, Several Players to Compete for Roster Spots

The Minnesota Timberwolves have finalized their training camp roster, adding two players to compete for the final roster spot. Drew Timme and KJ Martin were signed to Exhibit 10 deals to see who will make the cut. Timme, a former Gonzaga star, averaged 5.6 points and 2.7 rebounds in two NBA seasons, primarily with the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Lakers.

Martin, a 25-year-old elite athlete, spent his last season with the Ningbo Rockets in the Chinese Basketball Association, averaging 8.0 points and 3.8 rebounds in 23 games. Other players who have been signed to Exhibit 10 deals include Antonio Reeves and Norchad Omier. Reeves, who is entering his third NBA season, is known for his three-point shooting and size.

Omier, entering his second professional season, is a physical interior presence and thrives in transition and on the offensive glass. The Timberwolves have retooled their roster this summer, trading Julius Randle, Naz Reid, and Josh Green, which allowed them to create flexibility and stay $4.6 million below the second apron. With Donte DiVincenzo likely to miss the season, Timme and Reeves are projected to be the favorites for the last roster spot.
