I don't really want to see the Wolves trade a draft pick. They have a top level coach and cap space they should be able to get a vet player or 2 without burning a cheap young talent via a draft pick. This is supposed to be a top level organization not a mediocre one flubbing its way toward being something. Pick a worthwhile player in the draft and develop them and get some vet help in FA or some other trade. I'm not completely against moving the pick but I'm not a fan of it. Remember the Wolves also have Dubs over in Europe that has to have some sort of value either to the team or to another team. I kinda want to see him here but he could be a decent trade chip with another asset to bring something solid or maybe even move around in the draft.
Also I loved what I saw OG out of Indiana last year. I would have loved to have drafted him last year if we had a selection at the right spot.

OG just reminds me of a kawhi/draymond type. Defense will be there, offense will show up. Having someone who can switch and hold his own against any player would be huge for this team.

You can't assume that the offense will show up. I get why OG is such an intriguing player for us. He could be that big, physical, defensive-oriented wing off the bench. But unless you are the Spurs, NEVER assume someone's shooting will eventually improve.

Well its not like he is terrible offensively. 35% from 3 on 3.5 attempts per game. I was more or less stating how I view his progression going in the NBA.
His free throw % is definitely alarming though.
