Wendell Moore Jr. was the 26th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft out of Duke by the Minneosta Timberwolves.
He has not gotten much of an opportunity through his first two seasons in the NBA.
This past year, Moore Jr. averaged 3.0 minutes of playing time per game (in 25 games).
On Saturday, the Timberwolves officially announced that he has been traded to the Detroit Pistons.
The Wolves will send guard Wendell Moore Jr. and the draft rights of the 37th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, forward Bobi Klintman to the Pistons.”
Considering the Pistons are a team that is coming off a year where they were the 15th seed in the Eastern Conference (last place), Moore Jr. may be able to get more playing time.
He has played well in the G League and finished this past year with averages of 19.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.1 steals per contest in eight regular season games.
Dane Moore of Blue Wire reported more details about why the Timberwolves made the trade.
