Albert Lea's Ben Woodside, a star during a four-year career at North Dakota State, will join the Wolves summer league team July 11-20 in Las Vegas.

He's expected to be joined by Wolves draft picks Jonny Flynn and Wayne Ellington, among others, but not by No. 5 pick Ricky Rubio.

Woodside, a 5-11 prospect, said he wasn't disappointed when he didn't get drafted Thursday night. Becoming a free agent allowed his agents to find the best fit for the point guard who averaged 23.2 points and 6.2 assists as a senior.

"I'm just excited for the opportunity," Woodside said. "I've landed in a great situation. I'm ready to start right away."
