Yep, they didn't swing for the fences tonight. They made sure to get on base. I think you're spot on here. Both Walker Kessler and Wendell Moore Jr. look like very solid pros at the next level to me. Two-way role players with good size for position. That's not a bad haul whatsoever at the back end of the first round.
I have a hard time believing the Wolves couldn't have traded up a spot of two at a reasonable price to get Dalen Terry. Using a 1st round pick on Kessler strikes me as a wasted pick. We have an immediate need for a big that can be filled through free agency. I think there were MUCH BETTER prospects available, including Ty Ty. I like the Moore pick, but i haven't seen anything tonight that justifies the unprecedented compensation package the Wolves gave Connelly. I'm not proclaiming him the village idiot. But his first real test here has been s disappointment so far.

Ant has the potential to carry an absolutely massive usage and KAT is a walking 24 PPG .60 TS%+ machine, so in my opinion their 3rd "star" just may end up being an elite role player. That could be Jaden. Or it could be one of these guys eventually.

Would you have been ok with Mark Williams at 22?
Yes. I think Williams is a lot better than Kessler. But I'm not alone in holding that view
