Matt Lewis上賽季在G聯盟場均可拿下11.1 分、4.3籃板、2.4助攻,42.7%投籃命中率 ; Phillip Wheeler上賽季效力於波多黎各的Quebradillas Pirates隊,場均可拿下16.9 分、5.6籃板、1.3 次助攻,51.3%投籃命中率 ; Emmanuel Mudiay上賽季與國王簽下一份十日合約,為國王打了兩場比賽後未受重用,後來加盟歐洲聯賽的立陶宛職業籃球隊Žalgiris Kaunas,場均可貢獻7.4分、3.2助攻、2.2籃板,37%投籃命中率。
灰狼隊總管Tim Connelly 過去曾於金塊隊擔任總管一職,他於2015年在首輪第七順位替金塊挑選了Emmanuel Mudiay,如今兩位可說是在灰狼再續前緣。
