The initial list of players has come out from Dane:
Jaylen Clark, Leonard Miller, Josh Minott, Daishen Nix, Rob Dillingham and Terrence Shannon Jr. will all play in Summer League for the Wolves, per assistant GM Matt Lloyd.
Matteo Spagnolo will not play, as he's rehabbing an injury overseas.
And Doogie added:
Former Lakeville North and #Badgers forward Tyler Wahl will play Summer League for the hometown #Timberwolves, per his agents Sam Cipriano & Keith Kreiter of Edge Sports.

I'm fine with Nix. He's young, cheap and showed something last preseason. He had a great G League before we signed him, but was only so-so last year. I blame Wendell Moore and our GLeague coach must really suck as I thought we had the makings of a good team last year and was disappointed to see we were near worst in the league. I'm fine with Nix unless we can sign TyTy who was brilliant last year in G League.

After drafting Dillingham, I don't know that we ever will see Spags on the Wolves and I'm fine with that. We never got to see Henk Norel.

After watching some highlights and looking at the stats, he's just the guy you want to help your team learn how to play with Rudy!

He is big. Also seems kinda awkward at times. It makes sense that they add a true center type so they got one. Statistically the last 2 years he was at Cuse his block and steal numbers were pretty good. What matters to me is whether he can defend and that's likely about his mental ability than anything physical.

Matt Lloyd also indicated some current Iowa Wolves would be on our Summer League team as well, although he didn't say who.

Any intel on who might coach the summer league wolves? I hope they assign a serious coach and not try to half-ass it again.

That was announced somewhere in the last few days/week: Chris Hines, who is a player development coach. He has been credited for working a lot with ANT's development, so I am hopeful he can do a good job at Summer League. (I believe last year's coach was Max Lefevre)
On another note: Ernest Scott was our Iowa Wolves head coach last year. What a disaster that team was. I sure hope a new coach is named this year!
