Most mock drafts have Vaughn being drafted either late in the first round or early in the second round. The Timberwolves own the first pick in the second round, and there’s a good chance the Wolves grab him there if he’s available. Also, there have been some rumors swirling about the Wolves’ interest in trading up into the middle or end of the first round. Could they be targeting Vaughn?
Vaughn became one of the better scorers in college basketball last season at UNLV, as he led the team in scoring and helped them to a final record of 18-15. Although his team failed to reach the NCAA Tournament, Vaughn was able to get his name on the map in terms of NBA scouting.
