Timberwolves Draft Prospect Analysis Thread

[KG4Ever]

Sekou Doumbouya today with 34 points on 13-for-18 shooting with 9 rebounds.

Yikes. Now, I'm more worried he'll be gone when we pick.

It's not Rocket science...pun intended. :)

Brillant!

As of now, I'd be ok taking Doumbouya, but I say this knowing he won't contribute anything next season, so in a way, the pressure is on Saric and Keita Bates-Diop to fight to stay here (KBD in a reserve role). Nassir Little has potential to be a star, but at best right now he's a SF version of Okogie (Luke Maye is the most ready to contribute and likely isn't getting picked). I wouldn't mind Herro because Lord knows we need shooting but you have to be really confident that he'll be similar to JJ Redick. Otherwise, we have a defensive specialist in Okogie and a shooting specialist in Herro, both SG's who lack too much of everything else to start.

I'm more interested in pick 43 as I see that there will be guys there more likely to contribute next year than guys at pick #11 unless they take Clarke, who I'd advise against.

Top 5 at the moment

1. Bitadze
2. Doumbouya
3. Herro
4. Little
5. Alexander-Walker


At 43, there are guys I'm very intrigued by should they be there.

1. Miye Oni
2. Jaylen Nowell
3. Charles Bassey
4. Dylan Windler
5. Jalen Lecque out of sheer curiosity.

If he keeps his name in the draft, Jordan Nwora has a sneaky good draft profile. Sleeper status right now, but had a very good season at Louisville on both ends of the court. Skills + size + smarts + athleticism. Have to wonder what would be said about him if he wasn't out at the NBA Combine with an injury. Likely would have helped his case immensely.

From all the video I was able to watch he reminds me of a raw Carmelo Anthony. IDK if that is good or bad.

I'm unsure if this was posted anywhere already, but it is a very good read on Clarke.

His analysis is very similar to mine. I'm starting to think that Clarke may not make it to us.

Well, I would like to throw my consideration into the mix for being drafted. Though lacking footspeed, gravity defiance, ball skills. I can bench more than any of these clowns that showed up at the combine. My specialty would be setting solid screens. Sometimes I might shuffle my feet a little, but that is semantics at this point.

Thank you for your consideration.

I'm undersized at only 6'0" and definitely older than the typical rookie... but I'm more than willing to let my teammates take the lion's share of shots. I'm hoping to land somewhere later in the 2nd round.
