I would not draft Wiseman #1 without a solid belief that he can develop into a perimeter threat by year 2 or 3 in the NBA. There should be some quality bigs available at 17 and perhaps 33 as they tend to slide and so I'd prefer moving down to 3 to 6 and target Killian Hayes or Deni and grab a big like Jalen Smith at 17, or if Saddiq Bey is available at 17, take him then draft Paul Reed if available or else Oturu/Quickley at 33.

KG4 - That's a reasonable draft strategy. I'm a big fan of Paul Reed and I like Jalen Smith. I wouldn't sleep on Oturu either. All three of those guys will be available at #17 and most mocks have two of them available at #33. So I could see the Wolves trading down a bit and drafting Deni or Vassell while also getting another valuable asset or two. I'm really high on Patrick Williams so I wouldn't mind trading down into the 8-10 range and drafting him. As you suggested, the Wolves will then have ample opportunity to draft quality bigs with one of both of their next two picks.
Just watching his mechanics and touch on mid-range jumpers, he seems pretty smooth to me. No flying elbow and good follow through. I think he could eventually become a capable 3-pt shooter, but not sure we could absolutely bank on that.

I know about him because he is a local guy but Zeke N. out of Arizona is a guy wouldn't mind in the 2nd round either. Supposedly he might be moving up towards the first round but it seems like there are a bunch of big PFs/C that could go anywhere from late lottery to mid of the 2nd round.

I've watched both videos that Cam posted. I actually found this one earlier on my own and yeah I'm all in on Wiseman at #1 or making some team pay legitimately to come up and get him.
