Jaylen Nowell is coming off a very productive year where he averaged 10.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists per contest while shooting 44.8% from the field in 65 regular season games for the  Minnesota Timberwolves

He also appeared in five NBA playoff games (the Timberwolves lost to the Denver Nuggets in the first round).   

This summer, the 24-year-old became a free agent, and he still remains available to be signed by any team in the league (on September 12). 

Nowell played his college basketball for Washington and was selected with the 43rd pick in the 2019 NBA Draft by the Timberwolves. 

He has spent all four seasons of his NBA career with the organization and helped them make the playoffs for two straight seasons. 

Since Nowell is still so young and has proven to be one of the best bench scorers in the league, it is surprising that no one has signed him.
