"I think he's one of the best shooters in the league irrespective of position on the floor," Wolves coach Chris Finch said. "When you watch him shoot around in workouts or in practice, he doesn't miss. He's an easy guy to rebound for."
Others taking part in the contest include Memphis' Desmond Bane, New Orleans' C.J. McCollum, the Clippers' Luke Kennard, Brooklyn's Patty Mills, Atlanta's Trae Young and Toronto's Fred VanVleet.
The Wolves are coming off back-to-back losses in Portland and are on a three-game losing streak.
