The Wolves have looked into several candidates for the spot, including Malcolm Brogdon, Cam Payne and Landry Shamet, league sources told The Athletic. However, all indications are that Bones Hyland is the front-runner to get that final spot, league sources said. Hyland signed a two-way contract with the Wolves in February, played briefly in Iowa and spent the rest of his time with the Timberwolves.

If the Wolves are going with Hyland, it shows they have no faith in Dillingham. I liked Dillingham out of the draft, his production was insane, but he's looking like a bust already and even if he does pan out it will be as the least valuable archetype. Learning moment for me.

He shoot 44% and 34% from three. He had a solid season he just didn't get the minutes. He also needs to put on some weight and will always be a subpar defender but he definitely has a place in this league.

You're harsh with him. Minny start very slow last year after the last minute KAT Trade and have to push all regular season. Rob play a couple of games where he was awful in defense and at shooting. Finch is not very patient with young players which can be understandable as they play to win. If they have a better start this year, i expect Rob to pay significant minutes and he will have opportunities to show he is part of the rotation. This is an important year for him. Mike is 38 years old and can't play more than 20-24 min, Donte is not a PG.

The point of my post was to say that if the TWolves are signing an extremely similar player to Dillingham, they probably don’t have much confidence in him to seize that role.

On top of that, this is the role/player type that is most easily filled and least valuable in the NBA.
