Minnesota Timberwolves: NBA Draft Big Board 2.0

The NBA Draft is swiftly approaching, and the Minnesota Timberwolves are set to have a number of selections.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have arguably the most draft capital of any team in the NBA this offseason. With a top-7 pick, an additional lottery pick, and a high-second-round pick, they have the opportunity to land up to three contributors (although it is likely not all will have an impact as a rookie).

Just this past offseason, the Memphis Grizzlies landed two franchise cornerstones through the draft in Ja Morant and Brandon Clarke. They also signed Jontay Porter during the season (someone that was expected to be selected in the mid-first round but went undrafted due to injury concerns). While it is unlikely that Minnesota finds two players of that caliber, they most certainly could solidify their rotation with high quality picks.

The Timberwolves need players that can make an impact right away. They don’t have many (if any) players that can make an impact both offensively and defensively. If they can find versatile wing/forwards that can play legitimate minutes as soon as the season starts, it will greatly improve their playoff chances, especially in an offseason with limited free agency options.
