The Timberwolves intend to sign the former Nuggets Clippers backcourt star, he is the last hottest candidate

According to the report of The Athletic's Minnesota Timberwolves reporter Jon Krawczynski, a source revealed to him that the Timberwolves had looked at multiple candidates to fill the squad, including experienced veterans such as Malcolm Brogdon, Cameron Payne and Landry Shamet. However, signs from all sides indicate that the backcourt star Nah'Shon Hyland, who played for the team in the second half of last season, was the biggest favorite candidate to get the final seat.

Hyland was born in September 2000. He is 24 years old, 188cm tall and weighs 77kg. He is a backcourt star from VCU selected by the Denver Nuggets in the 2021 NBA Draft in the 26th pick in the first round. In the NBA market, Hyland has played for the Denver Nuggets, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has played 186 times in the NBA regular season, averaging 17.1 minutes per game, averaging 9.5 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. He has shot 39.8% from the field, 36.4% from three-point shooting percentage and 84.8% from free throws. Although Hyland's performance when playing for the Nuggets was a bit brighter, his situation was not ideal after leaving the Nuggets. He actually did not get much playing time and performance opportunities in the Clippers and the Timberwolves.

In the first half of last season, Heyland played for the Clippers, but in a deal before the trade deadline, he was sent to the Atlanta Hawks by the team and was quickly cut by the Hawks after the trade was completed. Heyland then joined the Timberwolves with a two-way contract, but after joining the Timberwolves, he did not get more opportunities to perform. In the NBA regular season last season, Hyland played 24 times for the Clippers and the Timberwolves, with averaging 9.9 minutes per game, with averaging 6.2 points, 1 rebound, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1 turnover and 1.2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 39.8%, his three-point shooting percentage was 39%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 88.5%. In the NBA Development League last season, Hyland played 2 times for the Iowa Wolves, a subordinate team of the Timberwolves, with averaging 40.8 minutes per game, with averaging 33.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 4 steals and 1 block, and 1 turnover and 3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 42.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 43.8%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 77.8%.

Hyland's performance in the NBA Development League is actually quite good. He also proved that he can exert his offensive strength with a large number of ball rights and shots. His scoring explosive power and outside shooting ability are both very outstanding. However, Hyland's performance in other aspects is really average. His situation in the NBA is not ideal. His functions are relatively limited, and his instability will make the team look very cautious in his use. This summer, Hyland has not received a contract from the Timberwolves so far, and there have been reports that the Serbian giants Belgrade Red Star is very interested in Hyland and is willing to provide him with a generous offer. Considering that Hylander is no longer qualified to continue signing a two-way contract, he must get a standard contract if he wants to stay in the NBA. I don’t know what the Timberwolves will plan. Are they really willing to leave this last place to Hyland?
