Leonard Miller Trade Backfires for Wolves
Description
The Minnesota Timberwolves gambled big in the 2023 draft, trading two second-round picks to land Leonard Miller—a high school phenom touted as a future double-double machine. But three years later, Miller’s NBA career has been a disappointment, playing just 49 games and averaging a paltry 1.9 points. With no path forward, the Wolves shipped him at the trade deadline to acquire Ayo Dosunmu, a proven contributor now locked in long-term. The cost? Two picks burned on a non-factor, including an unprotected Utah pick that ended up being the 35th overall selection—used by the Nuggets to draft Trevon Brazile. For a team already thin on assets and desperate for a power forward, this trade’s fallout stings even more.
