Tim Connelly said that Nickeil Alexander-Walker has All-Defensive Team potential during media day on Thursday.

 The Wolves re-signed NAW to a two-year deal this summer, and it appears that the team believes that’s a bargain for them. He played a minimal role for them last season and hasn’t really panned out since the Pelicans selected him in 2019. He isn’t worth drafting in standard leagues, but if they really believe in him to this level, he’s worth keeping an eye on.
