The Wolves have a wealth of young riches right now. So much so that I wouldn't be surprised if they beat their Forecast prediction and end up in the playoffs.

Shooting continues to be a long-term need for Minnesota, and Ferguson really put himself on the NBA radar with a terrific shooting performance in the Nike Hoop Summit.

But he decommitted from Arizona to play pro ball in Australia. I'm not sure how it will affect his draft stock, but the draft doesn't have a lot of great shooters, which should help him.

We pick 11th and select...

Terrance Ferguson

Positives
-Elite shooter with deep range
-Excellent defender
-Good athlete
-Great length
Negatives
-Doesn't always play with urgency or intensity
-Needs to add strength

Are there any non-shooting point guards available?

Based on the 2016 draft why would you play in college? Lol

Strengths
-Good size for a wing at 6' 7". Decent length - 6' 9.5" wingspan.
-Big-time leaper in transition. Best off of one foot.
-Can really get going from the perimeter with his feet set. Excellent when he's able to step into it in transition. Catches on the hop. Gets his feet set quickly. Nice elevation. Can run off of screens a little bit. Solid rotation and wrist action.
-Can make a one-dribble pull up.
-Capable of attacking a closeout.
-Outstanding feet on defense. Tremendous on ball defender when he digs in. Does a great job keeping the ball contained. Has the size and length to recover and contest.

Weaknesses
-Doesn't have a great frame - 186 lbs.
-Super bouncy but doesn't quite know how to use his athleticism in the half court. Very rigid ball handler. Offensive game is a little vanilla. Right-hand dominant.
-Can improve his ability to get to his jump shot vs a set defense.
-Dangerous when he gets going but can be very streaky as a shooter.
-Not much of a playmaker.
-Has some lapses as an off ball defender.

Outlook Ferguson had an up and down week of practices before exploding in the game for 21 points on seven threes. He plays with a lot of confidence and proved how he can change a game when he gets going from three. There's not a whole lot to Ferguson's game but with his size, shot-making ability, and on-ball defense, there's most certainly a role for him at the NBA level in time.

I mean look at guys picked in the lottery. Some of them didn't have much film on them. Thon Maker had next to nothing. Skal struggled in college where did he get picked? Maker played basically another year of HS and was picked almost 20 later. There were a couple raw college guys too.

Got it. I love it how they say almost every year this is a great draft. Ford is saying that about this class and like 3 of the top 5 picks have already blown out knees.
