8. Minnesota Timberwolves
Lauri Markkanen
Arizona
Freshman
Forward
Markkanen has slowly moved closer to Tier 2 alongside Jackson, Monk, Smith, Isaac and Tatum. The versatile 7-footer is shooting a crazy 49 percent from 3 on nearly five attempts per game.
A few scouts have made comparisons to Dirk Nowitzki. That seems a bit hyperbolic to me. There are some similarities there, especially with Markkanen's shooting ability for his height, but a Ryan Anderson comp might be more fitting.
Either way, getting another shooting big would be a nice fit for the Wolves -- if Tom Thibodeau can handle another player on the roster who doesn't play great defense.

Mikkeman will like this!
I haven't seen him play, so I can't comment on his suitability. But a 3-point shooting 7-footer sounds like a good pairing with KAT. Nbadraft.net has him going 10th, and while they have a lot of nice things to say about him, they also only give him very high marks as a shooter...everything else is more average. I also not that he has had two consecutive poor games in a row...only 4 points and 3 rebounds in his last game.
Certainly one to keep an eye on...
