The final Mock Draft before the lottery is here and Timberwolves’ fans are really going to enjoy this one.
With the NBA Lottery only one day away, Dunking With Wolves rolls out their final Timberwolves Mock Draft of the pre-lottery season.
This will be the third edition of the Mock Draft and Timberwolves fans are going to enjoy how this one turned out.
In the first edition, we saw the Wolves slipping to the eighth pick before standing pat at sixth overall in the second edition.

In a fitting way to end the pre-lottery mock drafts, the Timberwolves come full circle and jump up into the top three this time.
I promise I only hit the ESPN “Play Lottery” button once and the results that you are about to see is what truly played out.
However, I’d be lying if I didn’t let you know that I was having an internal debate about whether or not I should hit the “Play Lottery” button more than once in order to get the Timberwolves into the top three. Luckily, I didn’t have to and am able to keep what little dignity I have left.
The top of the draft is getting harder and harder to predict as there appears to be a more competitive battle for the second best player than anyone could have guessed.
De’Aaron Fox is wowing scouts as they dive deeper into his film and has even passed Lonzo Ball on some team’s big boards.
That may be good for the Timberwolves if they stand pat in the lottery but for this exercise, it complicates their decision even more.
Thank you all for tuning in to the final Timberwolves Mock Draft.
