Four players the Wolves brought in for pre-draft workouts — Coleman,
Oklahoma forward Longar Longer, Michigan State guard Drew Neitzel and
Oregon guard Bryce Taylor — but who were not selected in the June 26
NBA draft also are on the roster.

From the Associated Press:
Guard Vince Grier and forward Dan Coleman will represent the maroon and gold starting next weekend in Las Vegas, with 20 other NBA teams participating. Center Longar Longar is on the list, too.
The graduate of John Marshall High School played four seasons at Oklahoma. Former Michigan State star Drew Neitzel is also going.
From Dick Vitale/ESPN:
After the NBA draft, a number of talented college
players who were passed over get the chance to hook up via free agency.
Sometimes I think players tabbed in the latter part of round two would
be better off as free agents, picking the best scenario for them to
make a roster. In the case of the Timberwolves, they agreed to terms
with former Michigan State guard Drew Neitzel. Let me tell you, Neitzel
has heart and guts plus he can shoot the rock. That was a good
addition.
