Wolves 2017 Draft Thread

[bleedspeed]

I can't believe nobody else has started this yet. The draft is the best day of the year for us Wolves fans. Optimism must be running very high on this team. So at LST request I started this thread.

Never too early! I got us picking at around 20, but the draft is loaded so we should get a decent player. Too difficult to project HS players, so I have my eye on Syracuse freshman Tyler Lydon. He's long and rebounded well as a freshman while hitting over 40% of his threes.

That's the one from the Wes trade. That one turned into two 2nd round picks one this year and one next year.

Lydon is there for us at 21! Lock up this thread, bleed...our work is done here.

Oh, that's good news. I thought there might be a stipulation like that but wasn't sure what pick it was attached to. So we only owe the Payne #1 at this point. And doesn't that one have something similar attached to it?

Yep although I would assume we give up that compensation as a first round pick or something has gone horribly wrong for a few years.

2018 -- Owe first-round pick (lottery protected through 2020, otherwise converts to 2020 and 2021 second-rounders) to Atlanta Hawks (Adreian Payne).

Yeah, that's a first rounder I WANT to give up in 2018
