Justin Patton is a nice player, don’t get me wrong, however, Terrance Ferguson is who the Minnesota Timberwolves should have drafted.

An underrated part of the draft-day trade for Jimmy Butler was the Chicago Bulls throwing in the sixteenth pick as part of the deal. Not only did the Minnesota Timberwolves acquire Butler but they still were able to pick in the first round.

With that selection, Tom Thibodeau drafted seven-footer, Justin Patton. Whilst I am not one to throw a player under the bus before he even plays a minute of basketball, Patton may grow into a stud. However, there was a player who suited our needs a lot more. The forgotten man of the draft, Terrance Ferguson. Ferguson went to the Oklahoma City Thunder with the 21st selection and the Thunder will look to use him immediately. So why would Ferguson have been a better fit in Minnesota?

Ferguson, who was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma was actually drafted by the Oklahoma City Thunder with the 21st selection and they will look to use him immediately.

He played his high school basketball in Dallas, Texas and actually committed on two separate occasions to play his college ball for Alabama and Arizona. He then decided to forgo college altogether and played in Australia last season.

This journey has allowed Ferguson to come a long way in developing his game. So why would he have been a better fit in Minnesota?
