Can’t happen soon enough.

LOL. Boston and New York are the two most loaded teams. I want to stay in the West.

Boston is and will be greats for a while. But the most talented teams over the long haul are OKC, Houston and the Spurs. OKC already finished ahead of us in the standings last season even though they’re much younger than us. The Spurs drafted a generational player last season. Then of course, you have Denver, Dallas and the Clippers in the West. Top to bottom the West is much tougher than the East - especially over the long haul.

I don't disagree with you about those teams, but I prefer staying in the West, as I've always been a fan of the West and hate the East.

I'll be quite surprised if the Wolves aren't in the East once Seattle and Vegas take their opening tip.

Clinghan joining Ayton and Robert Williams. Nice! That's some big boys for Scoot to throw to. Love it!

Man there is a ton of size drafted thus far. Seems like the league is following the Wolves lead

They have Scheierman going to the Wolves at #27.

Given how accurate the mocks have been so far, perhaps Scheierman really will fall to us at 27. But I suspect it won’t happen.

I'd rather go Kolek or Holmes if either are there. While I'm ok with Scheierman, Wolves don't have a good history with shooters and I'm a little worried he's another Mike Miller, Saric, Morrison or McDermott, and I'd rather gamble on someone with better upside.

The thing about Scheierman is that he isn't just a shooter. Elite rebounder for his position and great passer. Really good pick and roll ball handler too, although in limited possessions.

Also, I'm as much a negative nelly about this franchise's history with shooting as anyone, but when you draft a guy that has elite volume AND percentages, it's highly likely that he will eventually shoot well in the NBA. Might not happen right away, but a lot of those attempts at Creighton were crazy hard or crazy long and he still shot a good percentage.

Spurs taking Dillingham. Could be on his way to Minnesota…
