I would have gone Thomas, oh well.
[Krawczynski] Our @johnhollinger gives the Wolves an A for taking Isaiah Evans: "I love this pick for MN. Evans can really shoot and showed strong improvement in his SO season. Teams overthought things on his thin frame. He is by far the best prospect available."
Hollinger has a good track record so there's that.
Hollinger also loved him some Josh Minott, so maybe he has a thing for guys with thin frames

My next move would be buying another 2nd round picks to get Boba Miller. Meanwhile, we’ll have to wait until the end of the night for the Wolves Ischenko era to begin.
Unfortunately the second round is over. Agents already decided every pick

There goes the most exciting player in the 2nd round. Not long after Houston robbed me of my Thornton era dream, the Clippers come along and steal my Baba dream.
A moment of silence for Lip everyone. This second round has been hard on him.

Evans minutes doubled from Fr to Soph and his overall shooting did not dip. His 3% did, but yeah. Microwave scorer to replace slightly more expensive veteran minimum to ride the bench and get random usage.

Braden Smith traded to Indiana. Is TJ McConnell available?!?

Thanks, Q. After my best 2nd round ever last year issuing in the Rocco era, this year’s second round has been devastating.

Can't have enough shooting, I'm happy with the pick, especially since it wasn't a first rounder.

I predict the Wolves will trade Evans before signing him.

I’d feel better if Evans was a 40+% 3-point shooter in college. But his 36% is a bit underwhelming. And I just read a draft analysis that said Evans needs to work on his shooting mechanics.

I'm not much of a soccer fan, but the world cup has given me something to watch since the NHL and NBA playoffs ended. Anyway, if you appreciate great announcing, this gentleman named Derek Rae calling the Mexico game right now is a treat to listen to.
