Cam Reynolds Rumors

Kyle Ratke: There’s a reason why the Timberwolves signed Reynolds to two 10-day contracts before signing him outright. He’s a culture fit and a player that GM Scott Layden and Interim Assistant Coach Ryan Saunders were high on from the beginning. How he’ll fit in with this team in 2019-20 has yet to be seen but given the stretch we saw from him to end last season, I’d imagine he’ll be contributing somehow. Julian Andrews: Reynold’s late-season success is a perfect illustration of the value of the G-League. Reynolds wasn’t drafted but worked his way into a contract and a chance at an NBA future with the Wolves. While the draft is a dramatic event and captures the imagination in many ways, it isn’t the end-all-be-all of player evaluation—often players don’t put things together when they’re 18 or 19 years old (shocker, I know). That a player like Reynolds can work himself through the NBA’s developmental system into a career is a testament both to Reynolds and to the system that produced him.
