The Minnesota Timberwolves locked up rookie guard Isaiah Evans to a four-year deal on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The specifics, a source confirmed: A four-year, $9.3 million contract in which the first three years are guaranteed and the fourth is a team option. The Timberwolves selected the 6-foot-6 wing out of Duke with the No. 33 overall selection in last month\u2019s draft.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the type of contract teams conjure up with second-round picks that give the player long-term security and the team a cost break, as the deal comes in at far less money per season than a veteran\u2019s minimum salary.<\/p>\n
Evans made his Summer League debut for the Timberwolves on Saturday in Las Vegas, scoring four points on 2-for-15 shooting while grabbing five rebounds in the Wolves\u2019 loss to Denver.<\/p>\n
Minnesota must fill at least one more spot prior to training camp to get to the league minimum of 14.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Minnesota Timberwolves locked up rookie guard Isaiah Evans to a four-year deal on Sunday.
