Wolves Draft Thread

[Crazysauce]

Like that the kid has a motor. Doesn't sound like effort will be an issue. Like taking chances on guys that want it.

Really? I thought you liked him. Why are you disappointed?

I don’t dislike Miller. Two things make me not like the pick. First, he’s redundant in relation to Jaden and Minott. Second, I thought we should be drafting for need and we really need a young PG prospect in the organization. With Amari Bailey available, I think he would have been a much better choice.

Maybe TC is trading Prince so Miller fills a void. Maybe Prince will be used in a trade to get a point guard. Washington and Orlando both have extra point guards. I'm still hoping we sign Kennedy Chandler to develop, along with either trading for a backup point guard or signing Carter or Milton.

Team could be thinking down the road of having a somewhat position-less front court. I'll take three guys that are 6"8 or taller, athletic, and with some ball skills! That's not necessarily redundant unless none of them can shoot.

So Portland has added a number of guards. Hmmm....

There goes Amari Bailey at #41...

While we could use PG prospects, it's pretty long odds that a 2nd round PG is gonna develop into a starting PG. The Wolves will need to fill that void in another way, like trading one of our bigs somewhere down the road.

You won’t make them if you don’t take them. The second round is a great opportunity to take a shot at getting what you need at a minimal cost. I’d like this organization to take a shot at landing our future PG in the second round even though it’s likely that we’ll have to get that PG by trading one of our bigs as you suggested.

Well, there is still some hope that the Wolves land Scoot as long as Dame remains on the Portland roster.

Yes.

Trayce Jackson-Davis is still available. Hope he slides to 53.

He’s slid way down. But we shouldn’t draft another big.

[Lipoli390]

Another one of my favorites, Jordan Miller is now off the board. He’s the Miller we should have taken. I have only three of my favorites remaining on the board:

1. Isaiah Wong
2. Craig Porter Jr.
3. Jazian Gortma

We may need a Naz replacement, plus he's good. Don't worry, we'll be able to address point guard in a trade and/or free agency. I am not sure there is any point guard left that is a must get.

Some other decent prospects still available:

1. Adam Flagler
2. Keynotes Johnson
3. Rich Council IV
