The second part of the polar bear combo from 2008 season is now in the NBA. Greg Stiemsma has signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The deal is for the remainder of the 2009-2010 season, which will only last for one more game for the Timberwolves, and the 2010-2011 season. Because of team policy the details of the contract were not released.
Stiemsma has been playing in the NBA Developmental League, or D-League, this season for the Sioux Falls Skyforce. In 45 games this season Siemsma has averaged just over 8 points per game, but almost 4 blocks per game as well; leading the D-League in that category.
In the D-League playoffs Stiemsma averaged a double-double with 15 points, and 10 rebounds per game.
He joins four other former Badgers who are know playing in the NBA: Brian Butch (Denver), Devin Harris (New Jersey), Michael Finley (Boston), and Marcus Landry (Boston).
