Of the 18 known players who have worked out for the Timberwolves, 14 of them will be 22 or older when the 2024-25 NBA season begins.
Of the 18 known NBA draft prospects that have worked out for the Timberwolves, 14 of them will be 22 years old or older by the time the 2024-25 NBA season begins.
It's a good indicator that Minnesota is looking to use its picks – Nos. 27 and 37 – in this month's draft to take a player who is ready to contribute right away as a rookie. We can now go one step further and toss "indicator" aside and say it is a fact that the Timberwolves want NBA-ready talent in the draft.
"It's a pretty level draft, I don't think there's a lot of franchise-changing guys in it. But I do believe there's a lot of older players that can help you maybe right away," Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch said Thursday during an interview on FM 100.3 KFAN. "You're going to have guys a little bit more ready to come in, which is great for us because that's really what we need.
Finch saying the Wolves "kind of have our main guys set" is a good indicator that Minnesota plans to run it back next season with a core featuring Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, Karl-Anthony Towns, Rudy Gobert, Naz Reid and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Here are the 18 players that the Wolves have had in for workouts and their respective ages when the 2024-25 NBA season begins.
