We didn't draft Garland though?

Canis thinks it's a great pick...
Can't say I have a strong opinion, but Rosas says you win with talent, and Culver is one of the more talented players in the draft, so it seems premature to be so down on the pick.

Re: Wolves have just traded up to 6
I have mutual feelings with picking Culver, but can't help but think something fell through. Maybe they thought Garland would drop past Cleveland? Or maybe Wiggins will be moved and Culver is considered as a replacement?
Re: Wolves have just traded up to 6
On a positive note we have some real versatility on the wings with RoCo, Wiggins, Culver and Okogie.

Re: Wolves have just traded up to 6
I'm going to throw this out there after having watched a bunch of video. He has Paul pierce smoothness and style. Elevating over defenders with a slight hang on his shot. Good vision and very solid frame, maintaining body control attacking the rim with contact.
Our team needs physicality and stout players with length and skill. We have plenty of quick or athletic guys that don't do jack, so I'm fine with a paul pierce / Brandon Roy mold facilitator with skill over athleticism here.

I think both of these are likely scenarios, I'm sure they wanted Garland, and with the relative success of Sexton last year, it was plausible Cleveland would pass on PG. I'm happy with the gamble. I have no idea about Culver, but think Saric is such a marginal player and poor fit with Kat long term it was with it.
I definitely think they will aggressively look to move wiggy, whether thats attaching Cov with him, or something else. He will he shopped. DLo is a possibility also, prolly contingent on moving Wig.

I can relate to some extent. I've been watching some scouting videos and I was unaware that he basically was a lead guard for his team this year. It seems like he has a lot more potential as a ball handler than I knew.

Clarke is a good value pick at 21. I like Kabengele a lot here.
