With the Clippers drafting 2 guards that leaves them open for business on guards. SGA, Robinson, Rivers, Lou, Beverly and Milos.

Move up a few spots to get Lonnie Walker?

I'm still assuming all six of these will be gone by the time the Wolves are on the clock. But there's still a chance one of them could fall to us. If so, is there anyone on this list you wouldn't grab if you were in Thibodeau's shoes?
Despite his enormous upside, I would be wary of Porter. His cocky attitude after not really proving anything concerns me.
The Dunc'd on podcast said he didn't do well meeting with various teams.

Re: Draft Day Thread
"Andrew Wiggins Syndrome" was just listed as a potential negative for Michael Porter on the Ringer Draftcast.
He's had a basketball disease named after him.

OMG they showed a young KD (comp for Porter) and it looked like a big slower version of Jamal Crawford. Good grief KD was/is talented.

That would be a nice move.

I just want a good young player. Miles Bridges is off the board and really nothing has been too surprising yet except Young going higher than expected but he was going to be gone before our pick anyway. I'll be interested to see if Donte goes higher as some of the mocks have been predicting. Both of us would rather have someone else fall to us if that is the case. These next few picks should be interesting. I'm starting to get nervous!!!
Monster -- Who is the guy you most want to fall to the Wolves who wasn't expected to be there at #20?
Idk Lip probably Porter and Bridges who are gone. I didn't really look into some of these other guys so...I couldn't say.

Re: Draft Day Thread
I really don't have any strong opinions on anyone left. I'd be fine trading down or out of the first at this point. I think there are wings to be had in the second round comparable to the guys on the board now.
