1-on-1 with Timberwolves rookie Leonard Miller
Timberwolves rookie forward Leonard Miller sat down this week with our Darren ‘Doogie’ Wolfson. The Wolves acquired Miller, the 33rd overall selection in the 2023 NBA Draft, in a trade with San Antonio. The Wolves sent the Spurs two future second round picks.
Miller, 6-foot-10, averaged 16.9 points and led the NBA G League Ignite with 10.1 rebounds per game. Miller also tallied 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 29.7 minutes per contest in 38 games during the 2022-23 campaign.
Wolves president of operations Tim Connelly noted that Miller can guard three positions. In other words, his versatility will be utilized a lot over time.
