Timberwolves Add Isaiah Evans, Trey Kaufman-Renn in the 2026 NBA Draft
- On Wednesday night, the Minnesota Timberwolves selected forward Trey Kaufman-Renn with the 59th overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, fulfilling the Sellersburg native's goal of reaching the professional league.
- Kaufman-Renn spent four seasons with the Boilermakers, playing 147 total games and helping the team reach multiple NCAA Tournament appearances, including an Elite Eight run.
- Standing 6-foot-9 and 240-pound, the forward utilized post-scoring skills and an unorthodox push floater similar to Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein, shooting 58.7% over his final two seasons.
- Analysts note significant questions regarding his transition to the NBA, specifically his limited perimeter shooting and lack of rim protection, as he recorded only 39 blocks in 147 games.
- The Timberwolves may utilize him as a two-way player, where he could develop his game in the G-League, as his physical strength offers a foundation for rotational play.
