Glenn Robinson III, the 40th pick in the 2014 NBA draft, has reached agreement on a guaranteed contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
The process of getting a deal done with Robinson, a former University of Michigan forward, became a circuitous process because of the Timberwolves' roster upheaval this summer.
Robinson flew to Minneapolis to sign an agreement on Monday and planned to begin preparations with the T'wolves for the start of training camp later this month, sources said.
Robinson had been believed to have first-round NBA draft talent, but dropped to Minnesota at No. 40. The T'wolves could go to training camp with 16 contracts that include guarantees for the 2014-15 season, and could still have roster moves left to make.
Robinson, 20, left Michigan for the NBA draft after his sophomore season. As a sophomore, he averaged 13 points on 49 percent shooting. Michigan advanced to the NCAA title game and the Elite Eight in his two seasons in the program.
Robinson's father, Glenn "Big Dog" Robinson, was the No. 1 pick in the 1994 NBA draft and had 11 productive seasons in the league.
