Look to draft a PG to replace Rubio next year?

Great Post LST.

Ricky isn't going anywhere. His time is coming. I hope Lavine works out at the 2, and plays with Ricky, not behind him. Adelman played 2 PG's, so if LaVine has PG skills, good, he can utilize them at the 2

I don't think he's a top 5 pick, but I wouldn't be opposed to pairing Wiggins with his running mate at KU in Selden if he comes out. He looks the part of a solid, all-around SG. He's not the most explosive, but I think we'll see some good things from him this year now that he won't be in Wiggins' and Embiid's shadows. There were definitely a couple games where he outplayed Wiggins and Embiid which was promising. He can handle the ball, shoot a little and Self's guys are usually pretty well coached on the defensive end. I will admit though that I know next to nothing about this rookie class so I'm sure half a dozen guys will find their way ahead of Selden whom I've barely heard of before.

Just keep eyes on the Kansas, Duke, and Kentucky games those have the best prospects. especially at F's or C's

Actually second thought just watch the UCLA games the wolves will probably just get another bruin.....

I'm still looking for Chris Walker to rise up next season. Yes, it helps that I'm a Gator fan, but Walker fits this type of team that Flip's building. Overathletic, defensive-minded, full of talent and focused on improving.

Personally, I don't think we'll have a high lottery pick next season, though, and Walker could be had in the later half of the lottery. That's if the Wolves don't do something crazy like make the playoffs...

That's the first guy I thought of too, khans, and an early nbadraft.net mock has him in the top ten...I expect him to have a big year this year. The only SG ranked higher in their mock is Wolverine Caris Lavert (hmmm..can the announcers handle LeVert and LaVine being on the floor at the same time!), who they describe as a Nick Stauskas clone.

And don't sleep on my guy Terran Petteway, last year's Big Ten POY!

You know Stauskus was actually the POY right? Petteway would have been my pick though. LeVert was a disappointment to me last year but he is gonna get plenty of run I would think. Does Michigan have any bigs? They didn't last year. Lots of players left the Big Ten it will be interesting to see if some of the bigger schools like Michigan, Indiana and Ohio State recover from significant loses of talent.

Whoops, you're right, monster. Petteway led the Big Ten in scoring and is the better defensive player, so I assumed he would win POY...but it was Stauskas. Stauskas is a better shooter and clearly has a more developed offensive game, but I wouldn't be surprised if Petteway has the better NBA career. Both good players though.

There's only three on that list that I'd go after: Goran Dragic, Reggie Jackson and Ricky Rubio.

Dragic likely gets a huge deal to stay in Phoenix.

Rubio... we'll see.

Jackson's an interesting case. I think a team can and will draw him away from OKC. To me, he's a Bledsoe clone except not as disruptive on defense. Should be a starting PG in the NBA right now.

Yeah its interesting because besides the guys you mention and Rondo its a pretty underwhelming list at this point.
