The T-Wolves have acquired 23-year old center Nathan Jawai from the Mavericks for a future 2nd round pick. Jawai only played in 6 games last season for the Raptors and he averaged 3.2 minutes, 0.3 points and 0.4 rebounds per game. The Timberwolves were desperate for help in the frontcourt so this was likely a good trade for them. With Al Jefferson and Kevin Love out of action Jawai could get some playing time in Minnesota to show what he can do. He will battle Mark Blount and Ryan Hollins for minutes at center until Jefferson is ready to return to action. The Timberwolves did a great favor to Jawai who was buried on the depth chart in Dallas and he was scheduled to start the year in the D-League. Now it’s up to him to reward the team.
