Nowell Finds his Range in NBA, Begins to Pull Minutes for Timberwolves The former UW shooter scores in double figures in three consecutive games. Author: Feb 1, 2021 If he had done it the old-fashioned way, Jaylen Nowell would be a senior for the University of Washington basketball team, which might be 12-3 instead of 3-12. We might be talking about him as a possible first-team All-American selection and a lottery pick. Oh well, Nowell finally is starting to make his move as an NBA player, The former two-season Husky and Pac-12 Player of the Year has entered the rotation and turned in three consecutive double-figure games for the Minnesota Timberwolves — dropping 12 points in 16 minutes on Golden State, 10 points in 23 minutes against Philadelphia and on Sunday night a career-high 13 in 19 minutes against Cleveland.
