The Minnesota Timberwolves made their deal with Serbian forward Nemanja Bjelica official Tuesday, announcing that the reigning Euroleague MVP has signed with the team.
His deal will be for three years and $11.7 million, according to reports from last week.
The 27-year-old averaged 12.1 points, 8.5 rebounds and just under two assists per game with Turkish club Fenerbahce Ulker. He has also been a mainstay on the Serbian national team.
A 6-foot-10 forward with an outside stroke, Bjelica projects to fit onto a young Wolves team nicely behind rookie Karl-Anthony Towns.
