2019 Fantasy Outlook
Drafted with the 43rd overall pick in 2019, Nowell joins the Timberwolves. The 6-foot-4, 202-pound sophomore out of Washington was voted Pac-12 Player of the Year on the back of 16.2 points (50.2 FG%, 44.0 3P%, 77.9 FT%), 5.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.3 steals across 34.4 minutes. He projects as a quality three-point shooter at the NBA level considering he shot 90-for-227 (39.6 percent) across his 70 collegiate games. Arguably his best in-conference performance last season came during a Pac-12 Tournament victory over USC, where Nowell dropped 24 points on 13 shots, plus eight rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block. With the Timberwolves, Nowell will compete against the likes of Josh Okogie and Jarrett Culver for reserve minutes at shooting guard. There seems to be a chance that Nowell could be an every-night rotation player if everything goes right. While it probably won't result in fantasy relevance during his rookie season, Nowell makes for an intriguing dynasty league option. Read Past Outlooks

As a junior, Nowell's 17.4 points and 4.1 rebounds per game netted him USA Today All-Washington second-team honors. After high school, Nowell took his talents to the University of Washington, choosing to play for the Huskies over the likes of Stanford, the University of California Berkeley, and the University of Oregon. You can follow him on Twitter @JaylenNowell.

College/International Summary

Nowell was named the 2019 Pac-12 Player of the Year and was picked for the 2019 All-Pac-12 Tournament first team after a successful sophomore season at the University of Washington.

Moves past illness
GMinnesota Timberwolves
February 24, 2020
Nowell (illness) played 16 minutes in Sunday's 128-116 loss to the Nuggets, finishing with six points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and one rebound.
ANALYSIS
After siting out Friday versus Boston because of the illness, Nowell was cleared in advance of Sunday's contest and gained entry into coach Ryan Saunders' rotation with point guard D'Angelo Russell (rest) sitting out. Russell is scheduled to play Monday in Dallas, making Nowell a prime candidate to drop back out of the rotation.
