Maybe the Wolves didn't see what they hoped to see in Philon. There actions seem to suggest that.

Makes sense for Philly to have a big guard that can handle with Maxey and VJ.

Now it’s on to my secondary PG target for the Wolves - Bruce Thornton. We can trade down from 33 to get him. How far down I don’t know.

OK who do we want to see fall to 33? 10 picks out.

Yeah it seems some other teams too. Maybe he is gonna be good and teams missed out...like Maxey who was picked at 21 and ended up being really good.

No one I covet as a drop-down prospect. I’ve locked in on trading down a bit further for Bruce Thornton the way I locked in on Rocco last summer.

Bruce Thornton sounds like a guy that would be good in season from January to mid April.

Zuby sounds like a shorter Joan. Probably fine that he went before the Wolves pick.

Lakers moving up one spot in trade with Knicks. I wonder who they covet this late in the draft?
