Those +/- come from ESPN.

I like him and if we keep our pick I hope we draft him.

Here is a good sleepers list.

Per a league source, Minnesota Timberwolves have discussed trading Anthony Bennett, Nos. 31 and 38 to the Boston Celtics for pick No. 28.

Well he got our second pick wrong--its 36. I don't like this trade idea at all unless Tyus Jones slips to 28. We should get more value out of our second pick and Bennett than moving up three spots. Unless someone falls and we need to ensure we get someone we like as in Jones, this makes little sense. I don't think there is much difference in quality between the 28th and 31st pick and the second rounder doesn't have to be guaranteed. Plus I like having two second rounders as we can use one of them to stash an international player.

In spite of the fact the Wolves don't want three rookies on their already young team I agree, that would be a terrible waste of assets. And by assets I'm not actually referring to AB. The flip side would be how much money comes with the 28th pick as you know they're selling one of those second rounders anyways.

If it happens I have to believe it's a Taylor move, not a Flip move.
