As of now, the Minnesota Timberwolves hold the #11 and #43 selections in tonight\u2019s draft. Let\u2019s answer some questions from the fans on Twitter!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/duy15_04\/status\/1141517561604915200\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/duy15_04\/status\/1141517561604915200<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Bol Bol is the most polarizing prospect in this year\u2019s draft. With top-five potential, Bol would be considered a high pick if it wasn\u2019t for his injury concerns. I have Bol ranked #10 on my <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thesportsdaily.com\/2019\/06\/19\/2019-nba-draft-big-board-dols11\/\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">2019 NBA Draft Big Board<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> (he would be top-five if not for the injuries). I would love to add Bol Bol to the team, but I think it would only be an option if we move down in the draft. I don\u2019t see Rosas taking Bol at 11, especially with the unclear fit next to Towns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Related to the fit next to Towns, it isn\u2019t great, but it could work. If Bol turned into a solid player, that would mean KAT moving to the four, where he would have to guard smaller, quicker players. Of course, teams can never have enough talent in the NBA, and with his sweet touch, Bol Bol is talent. If the Wolves move down, I would be looking at a prospect with one word, two times: Bol Bol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jamantoo\/status\/1141527376146419713\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/jamantoo\/status\/1141527376146419713<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">There is no way to explain it. The previous regime gave Wiggins a max contract coming off a season where he averaged 23.6 PPG on 45.2% shooting from the field and 35.6% shooting from three. The fact is, there were fans in town that didn\u2019t want to include Wiggins in a trade for Kyrie Irving that summer. That\u2019s how sold people were on Wiggins being the next big thing in the NBA. Fast forward two years, and we are talking about attaching an asset to dump his salary. Wiggins will be going into his second year on his max contract, with four years and over $122M remaining. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">I think the Wolves could actually get off of Wiggins\u2019 contract, but they would either have to take money back, or send another asset with Wiggins. Is it worth getting rid of Wiggins\u2019 contract if we have to send the 11th pick or Josh Okogie with him? What kind of free agents are the Wolves attracting to the land of 10,000 blizzards anyway? I think the Wolves will just hang onto him and hope Saunders and the new staff can get more out of him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">soo&#8230;.. well the Timberwolves Trade Tomorrow on Draft Night ?<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; TimberTowns (@TimberBEST_1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TimberBEST_1\/status\/1141517645390462981?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 20, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Gersson Rosas has made it quite clear, the Wolves are trying. In fact, he admitted they are trying to move up, but it\u2019s no simple task. We don\u2019t have a lot of positive assets to move up, especially when we need that little depth we have in the future. Here is what I would consider positive assets for the Wolves:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Karl-Anthony Towns<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Robert Covington<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Josh Okogie<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Dario Saric<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Keita Bates-Diop<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">#11 in 2019 NBA Draft<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Future First and Second-Round Picks<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">That\u2019s not a lot, especially when we\u2019d ideally build a core around KAT, Covington, and Okogie. But, the Wolves are trying. There has been talk of them trying to get all the way up to #4, but getting up to #6 seems more likely, with Coby White likely being the target. Here\u2019s what a trade with the Suns could look like.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><strong>Timberwolves get:<\/strong> #6 Pick, Tyler Johnson (if he accepts his player option)<\/span><\/h5>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><strong>Suns get:<\/strong> Jeff Teague, #11 Pick, Future Second-Round Pick<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">The trade is nothing too fancy. If the Suns strike out at acquiring a different veteran point guard, they could look at Teague as an option, who is still a solid player when he\u2019s healthy. The Wolves would likely have to take Tyler Johnson back to match the salary if he accepts his player option, which he almost certainly will. This type of trade seems more plausible and less risky than a trade up to #4 with the Pelicans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Would you rather trade up for Darius Garland or trade some salary away and go for D&#39;Angelo Russell?<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Trace (@TGierisch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TGierisch\/status\/1141549575003619328?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 20, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">That\u2019s a tough one. I have Darius Garland as my seventh ranked prospect this year, but that\u2019s mainly due to his lack of playing experience in college from injury. We already know what the Wolves would be getting in Russell. Check out this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thesportsdaily.com\/2019\/06\/18\/rosas-and-russell-a-perfect-match-dols11\/\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">recent article<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> on why Rosas should swing for the fences on Russell.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">The more likely scenario is probably Garland, because he\u2019s not a restricted free agent. D\u2019Angelo Russell can choose where he wants to go, unless the Nets match the contract, which might be more likely now that they aren\u2019t certain on getting Kyrie Irving by himself. Solely based on the player, I would rather have Russell, but the path is easier to get Garland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thoughts on Andrew joining Team Canada for the World Cup in China?<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Dixon: Small Market NBA Fan (@meijerstocker22) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/meijerstocker22\/status\/1141536544647524352?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 20, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Although there was a report that Wiggins will be playing for Team Canada this summer, Rosas said at his pre-draft presser that they haven\u2019t been told anything for sure yet. I\u2019m not really sure how to feel about it. On one hand, playing this summer would likely cause wear and tear on Wiggins\u2019 body towards the end of next season, but playing in competitive games is better training than in a gym on his own. Either way, the Wolves would probably rather have him avoid it to miss the chance of a summer injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What are your opinions on the Gonzaga prospects?<br \/>Hachimura and Clarke, should we draft one of them as we only have Dario as a PF.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; SRiDHaR (@KingOfMongrels_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KingOfMongrels_\/status\/1141534461651087360?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 20, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">You can read my two-paragraph scouting reports on each of them <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thesportsdaily.com\/2019\/06\/19\/2019-nba-draft-big-board-dols11\/\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">, but I actually have Hachimura ranked over Clarke. Hachimura is one year younger than Clarke, and he has only been playing basketball for 8 years. I see a lot of Hachimura\u2019s weaknesses as something that will improve with NBA experience.

I know culture is a commonly used word when a new boss comes into town, but there is clear evidence of Rosas changing the culture. Rosas has helped Saunders bring in players to workout this summer, something we haven\u2019t seen in the past. Along with that, he\u2019s building a young, modern front office and coaching staff. His openness in the media has also been a nice sign, as he understands the community part of the job. Time will tell, but I have loved everything Rosas has done up to this point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">That wraps up the questions from Twitter. Here are a couple more thoughts from me as we approach draft time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Taking the temperature: Would you move RoCo + 11 for 4 and Hill? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Twolves?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Twolves<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AllEyesNorth?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AllEyesNorth<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Darren Wolfson (@DWolfsonKSTP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DWolfsonKSTP\/status\/1141712001942597635?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 20, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Darren Wolfson tweeted out this poll not too long ago on Twitter. I get the sense that he has some knowledge of this being discussed, even though I cannot confirm that. As for my opinion on this trade, I would try as hard as possible to hold onto Covington, especially when we would be taking back Hill\u2019s contract anyway. I see Covington as part of the Wolves future. He fits in perfectly on the wing next to Towns, and RoCo is under contract for another three years at just $12M per year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">If possible, I would see if we can convince New Orleans to take Saric and Okogie instead of Covington. Saric is coming up on a payday, and I don\u2019t know that the Wolves can give that to him unless he proves himself as the right fit next to Towns. Okogie had a promising rookie season, but his shot needs to improve. Okogie is on a rookie-scale contract which is very team friendly, but I\u2019m still hanging onto Covington over Saric and Okogie. Yes, Rosas should be aggressive and go get his guy if he thinks Garland has All-Star talent, but I would be hesitant to give up on one of the best 3 &amp; D guys in the league who\u2019s on a team-friendly deal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>I think the last thing the Wolves want to do is pick at 11<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">My sense is the Wolves will try as hard as possible to move up in the draft. But, if the right offer isn\u2019t there, I think they will do whatever it takes to move down in the draft. Now, if someone like Sekou Doumbouya is still on the board at 11, they might stay put and take the French forward who spent extended time in Minnesota during the pre-draft process. However, in a deeper draft than most think, I believe Rosas would love to get off a contract and move down, or acquire additional assets and move down. Remember, those additional assets could always be used to make a stronger play for a D\u2019Angelo Russell sign-and-trade this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Shop Wolf Den Prince shirts for just $17 and free shipping using the code MERICA10: <a href=\"https:\/\/dsgntree.com\/procityhoops\/dark-wolf\">Click Here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s officially one of the most exciting days in the NBA: Draft Day.
