NBA trading market signs again: Former Jazz defender Zhu Zan joins the Timberwolves with a one-year short-term contract!

On August 2, according to the famous American sports media ESPN, former NBA Jazz defender Zhu Zan reached a one-year short-term franchise contract with the Timberwolves. The specific contract details were not disclosed. The former was officially cut by the Jazz in the offseason and has become a free agent. The Timberwolves' move is to get as much as possible, hoping to tap into Zhu Zan's future development potential. In the 2024-2025 season, Zhu Zan played for the Jazz and played as a shooting guard. He played in a total of 64 games in the regular season, averaged 20.0 minutes per game, scored 9.0 points + 3.0 rebounds + 1.2 assists + 0.7 steals, with a shooting percentage of 42.0%, a three-point shooting percentage of 37.0%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 84.0%. If converted to 36 minutes of efficiency, he has the potential to score 18+6. You should know that he can average excellent data of 20+5 per game in the Jazz Development League team, and he needs to continue to get the opportunity to exercise and polish and improve.

The Timberwolves did not make a major trade upgrade in the offseason. They only renewed their contracts with forward star Randle and center Reed, but failed to chase super star Durant, which made core star Edwards very annoyed, because Durant is one of his idols. Edwards will inevitably have a full-scale revenge battle against the Rockets in the new season. He believes that Durant looks down on the Timberwolves a little. Zhu Zan continues to strive for opportunities in the Timberwolves rotation, and may also continue to fight monsters and upgrade in the Development League!
