Towns and Hezonja.
Can and Wild, what can you tell me about "Super Mario"? I haven't seen him play once and am not overly excited about the couple things I've read. What does he bring to the table for this team? Have you guys seen him play or have a link to a source with an in depth report on him?
Shooting, shooting and more shooting. Also, quick release, very good athleticism so the tools to be a plus defender are there and for me, kid plays with a fire in his belly. This team needs that, a la Bazz. Definitely the perfect wing compliment to Wiggins.
Who we draft will, of course depend on where we draft. Right now I assume that, if Ricky remains healthy, we will finish ahead of the Sixers, Knicks and Lakers in the standings. That would most likely mean the 4the pick. I think we could also end up finishing ahead I'd 2 or 3 other teams. Bottom line is that we will likely be picking in the 4 to 6 range. I'm told the Wolves front office staff, including scouts, really like this draft class and think it runs deep.
I'm not sure how the Wolves front office rates the prospects yet, but I think there are at least 5 prospects with elite NBA potential:
1. Okafor
2. Mudiyai
3. Russell
4. Johnson
5. Towns.
I'd be happy with any of these five and I think it's likely we'll end up picking in the top five.
Towns with another decent game last night. 12 pts, 13 reb, 2 blk, 2 ast, 2 stl in 26 minutes. Also had this pretty step-back jumper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnR-kLulNZg

Yup, lately Towns has begun to emerge amongst the "bag-full-of-bigs" that was the Kentucky rotation. That's encouraging and I think these last few games are starting to create separation. That's why I think it's now a three-horse race at the top: Towns, Okafor, and Russell. I realize Mudiay's name is in the mix, but I have to believe there is a bit of uncertainty surrounding him that slightly discounts his draft position.
