I do. I’m a gopher alum and seeing my golden brother get his chance with my favorite team is a plus.

Coffey should of stayed for his senior season.

Murh was a double double machine. We need the depth at power forward.

Personally I do think it's love. Where else would he get on an NBA team.

Wonder if Coffey will get a shot, or go overseas.

it's just a Summer League invite guys, not an actual contract.
2020 All Time NBA Draft

A Iverson, K Irving
J Havlicek, M Ginobili, M Richmond
D Wilkins, B Bowen

He would break Rickert in half 2 minutes into the game.

You could play Murphy from day 1 and he'd give you solid D and a ton of boards. But someone will have to give him that chance and sometimes guys his size just get panned and end up killing it in Europe.

Don't get your hopes up. Murphy was great in college but his game doesn't really translate to the NBA at all right now (I want to stress that at this point in time, he could obviously develop into one). Can't shoot for shit, 6'7 PF and honestly not even very skilled for NBA standards. He does hustle his ass off and is a beefy 250 though.

Wolves signed him to an exhibit 10 deal. Not going to pretend to know what an exhibit 10 deal is, but after reading a bit, I believe it means he will be in Iowa this year.
