Wolves 2017 Draft Thread

[Monster]

I'm starting to be more intruiged by Jonathon Isaac. I was reading he is an all team guy doesn't care about his stats just wants to do what it takes to win. I'll be interested to see what his measurements end up being including his weight. Getting a guy that has the length of a PF/C that is multidimensional sounds really good right now as there are a lot of guys like that right now. I'll be interested in seeing how Draft Express breaks down his college game.

I am curious why he is not being projected higher. Just comparing this class to last years shows how this class is much deeper. Dunn would have had no shot of making the lottery in this group.

I think the problem with last year's class was the top younger players were less ready than other classes. I thought the class was more OK but had nice upside guys for quite a few picks but yeah.

From what I can gather it's a combination of things of why Isaac isn't higher. Of course who knows he might go up when workouts etc happen.

1. He has solid handles but doesn't show amazing ability to beat guys off the dribble and first step so that limits his upside as a franchise type player.

2. Skinny

3. Lots of talent in this draft and especially in his case a few wings to pick from so that muddies the water a bit.

4. He is pretty raw as he used to be a 6'3" guy a couple years ago and where exactly will he play? Is he a wing or a PF? Other guys are likely seen as more of a sure thing. I guess his team was really talented so he wasn't asked to be a top player. He was a 5th year HS player he could have gone to the draft last year and it was said he would have been a 1st round pick.

Please not Lauri Markkanen.

Zach Collins defenitely is on the radar for me as well after his last 2 games with the Zags. A legit 7 footer who is a great athlete and can play above the rim. I'd take him over Markkanen 10/10 times. Bridges, Isaac and Collins are the 3 I'm locked in on if we don't get into the top 3. I think all 3 would be great prospects to add to the team as long-term pieces and then sign some vets to help now until they are ready.

Agree on Collins for sure

Man, let me dream for a minute, but if we get lucky with the lottery and move up, I'd love to get Josh Jackson. I love that guy's game and think he would be great for us. A long athletic two-way wing who facilitates on offense and hustles on defense. Seems smart and passionate. Guys like that just make everybody better on both ends.

Does his off the court stuff bother you?

I'm starting to feel bad for Alonzo Ball. His dad keeps saying stuff what is his deal? Unlike Bazz who had really bad stuff go down with lying about his age and his dad went to jail so it probably was easier to make a break from that stuff I wonder if Lonzo's dad will continue to be around. It seems likely with a couple more kids coming through the basketball system. Maybe it's not a big deal but yeesh.

Uh oh, I didn't hear about that. What was it? Please tell me it's something benign.

Josh can defend like crazy.
