The Minnesota Timberwolves have shown interest in free agent forward Dante Cunningham, according to ESPN 1500's Darren Wolfson.

The Villanova product is coming off the most efficient season of his career, the third with the New Orleans Pelicans.

Cunningham has miraculously developed into a reliable outside shooter during 2016-17, drastically changing his market value from what it's been the majority of his career.

While the T-Wolves have the minimum available to sign him, it's an offer that Cunningham won't take, after shooting the three-ball at a 39.2 percent clip last season.

The 30-year-old has become a spot starter in the league during the past three years, but has more value as another shooter coming off the bench, providing some length at the defensive end as well.

Cunningham averaged 6.6 points on 48.5 percent from the floor and 4.2 rebounds in 25 minutes per game last season.
