What do you want to see in round 2?

[KG4Ever]

Paschall good pick at 41. Bol Bol still available and he's for the taking if Philly takes someone else.

Bol Bol. Didnt' like him as lottery pick with his injury, but here there is little risk.

[Lipoli390]

I'm now thinking Jaylen Hands or Jaylen Nowell -- PGs with good length and excellent athleticism for the position. Also good 3-point shooters. I'd be happy with either one.

I was a big fan of Zylan Cheatham at Arizona State. I could live with him here, if no Bol Bol.

[Lipoli390]

Some others I wouldn't mind seeing us draft at 43: DaQuan Jeffries, Shamorie Ponds, Miye Oni, or Louis King.

[Lipoli390]

Whoops. I fell behind. We ended up with my guy, Jaylen Nowell. Hooray. Who needs Darius Garland!!

[MikeAz [enjin:6636981]]

Is Taj Gibson coming back?

[WildWolf2813]

Got my top target at 43.


A- draft only because he didn't really address a need but added talent.


My dream of the Wolves signing Angel Delgado is still alive!!!!

[Camden [enjin:6601484]]

Jaylen Nowell is a good find here. Slightly undersized as a two-guard, but should be able to work him into some fun backcourt combinations regardless. Legitimately good shooter. Predominantly a straight line driver. Competes at both ends. Wants to keep getting better, which is actually important (go figure).

[Lipoli390]

I really like Nowell at #43.

He hit 50.2% of his 12 field goal attempts per game. That's elite. He hit 44% of his threes, albeit on a relatively small 3.2 attempts per game. But it's still really impressive. He hit 78% of his free throws as well. So this guy as an elite shooter in college.

Nowell also averaged an impressive 5.3 boards per game to go with 1.3 steals. He has a terrific wing span for a PG at 6'7.25. He's also a terrific athlete, recording a 32" no-step vertical and a 38.5" max vertical. He had a nice 3.23 sprint time along with excellent shuttle and agility times of 3.13 and 10.76.

NBADraftnet.com gave Nowell a very good 8 rating for his ballhandling, jump shot, athleticism, quickness and leadership.

This pick doesn't fully redeem Rosas from his 1st round blunder. But it helps. And in the back of my mind, I still think the Wolves will end up dealing Culver for Garland or as part of a cap-clearing deal for D. Russell. Then again, Rosas hasn't done anything yet to suggest he's a sophisticated, creative or particularly smart NBA executive. So we'll see what happens over the next month.
