Adrian Payen

According to Zogda the wolves are going to acquire Adrian Payen. I like it

Never mind apparently it is for a first round pick in 2017, WTF

Edit: Apparently it is heavily protected I am fine with it.

Weird, weird, weird. That pick better have lotto protection, I didn't really care for Payne pre-draft but I'll give him a shot I guess.

WTF is right. Hopefully it is top 29 protected.

Wolfson is reporting it will be heavily protected, if that is the case I am fine with that. Lets go wolves!

He didn't recieve much playing time at all for the Hawks, where does he get it here? I don't see him getting any run in front of Bennett or Deing. So is he just going to be a reserve big man?

Does this indicate a Thad Young trade?

Here is a good article.

I would think he would be backup PF/Center.

It is lottery protected, from 2017-2020, and Barriero says they want a lengthy defensive PF. We will see.

We worked him out that year and were supposedly considering drafting him. Guess the Flip/Izzo connection runs deep.
