Here’s the Minneapolis Star Tribune reporting on Timberwolves rookie Glenn Robinson III:

Robinson finally signed a partly guaranteed contract this week, and has been at Target Center with a group of players taking part in informal workouts. Wolves General Manager Milt Newton said Thursday that team officials felt it was important to let Robinson “know he’s in our plans,” before adding that “it’s a situation where he’s going to have to earn it.”
Robinson plays the No. 3, or wing, position that is the deepest spot on the Wolves’ roster. Veterans Corey Brewer, Chase Budinger, Shabazz Muhammad and Robbie Hummel are returning wings, and Wiggins, the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft, is a natural wing.
“I wouldn’t say it’s daunting,” Robinson said. “I’d definitely say, it is a lot of wings.”
Robinson said he thinks he has something in his favor in his quest to make the 15-man roster when training camp starts Sept. 29.
“I think it’s the little intangibles,” he said. “I’m a smart basketball player, I believe my IQ is pretty high … Even though I’m a rookie, it’s going to be playing like a veteran, trying to help guys out.”
