Pokes in the Pros
John Lucas Makes 15-Man Roster for Minnesota Timberwolves
Former Oklahoma State point guard John Lucas has survived roster cuts and made the 15-man roster with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Timberwolves waived Rasual Butler and Toure’ Murry, clearing the way for him to secure the final spot.
Lucas is in a unique position in Minnesota. The Wolves drafted Duke point guard Tyus Jones just last year out of Duke, and elected to take another point guard — Providence’s Kris Dunn — with the No. 5 pick in this year’s draft. They also return Ricky Rubio.
With Lucas making the 15-man with frankly an excess of point guards, it could signal that one of their players could be on the move. With Lucas representing a veteran presence, it could mean that second-year player Tyus Jones could be on the move in the near future as a potential trading piece.
As you might remember, Lucas had a memorable career at Oklahoma State that was highlighted by this cold-blooded three to down No. 1 seed St. Joes and lead OSU to a final four appearance in 2004.
