There’s plenty in the way of rumors and no shortage of mocks and predictions out there when it comes to the 2018 NBA Draft. But what are the Minnesota Timberwolves most likely to do on Thursday night?
It all comes down to this, basketball fans.
After months of speculation and a feverish past couple of weeks when it comes to rumors, Timberwolves fans still have no idea what their favorite squad will do in the 2018 NBA Draft on Thursday night. The Tom Thibodeau-led front office is tight-lipped, and while past front offices (read: virtually all Wolves front offices) were prone to leaks and in some cases, fairly open about their intentions, this one is … not.
Here at Dunking With Wolves, we took a stab at a list of general predictions for the draft. Trey Flynn posted a DWW mock draft earlier in the week. And we’ve had plenty of player profiles on the site dating back several weeks.
But when it comes down to it, what are the Timberwolves most likely to do?
Well, that’s a tricky thing to pin down, of course, but we’re going to try. From keeping the pick to trading back to trading up to trading it straight-up for an established NBA veteran, there are myriad options to consider. And don’t forget that the Wolves also possess the No. 48 pick, which is 18th in the second round.
The most fun way to do this is going to be by percentage, because why not? Buckle up, because we’re about to go out on a few shaky limbs for this one.
We’ll start with an easy one.
