Rookie duties include carrying Disney backpacks

February 21, 2012 | From: Alex

Not much is known about these backpacks — the rookies stay silent about them.

"I don't want to say anything that I shouldn't say," said forward Derrick Williams.

What is known is that veteran center (and jokester) Brad Miller went out and bought three special backpacks for the Timberwolves' three rookies: Williams, Ricky Rubio and Malcolm Lee. The rookies are required to carry the bags to games and on road trips.

I'm sure readers could guess who got the Justin Bieber backpack. Hint: they have the same haircut.
