Minnesota Timberwolves: NBA Draft Big Board 2.0
Players 41-45
41. Cassius Winston, Guard, Michigan State
42. Daniel Oturu, Big, Minnesota
43. Jared Butler, Guard, Baylor
44. Killian Tillie, Big, Gonzaga
45. Ty-Shon Alexander, Wing, Creighton
Cassius Winston is one of the safest second-round guards in this draft class (and there are a ton of them). He can do it all offensively (although there are no elite traits) and is just okay on defense. It is hard not to see him in a rotation at the NBA level.
Daniel Oturu is a very good offensive big. He’s got great footwork in the paint on offense and can stretch the floor well for a player of his size. That said, the defense is bad. I do not care if he averaged almost three blocks per game: Oturu was just not as good as he needed to be on the defensive end of the floor. Still, though, he should be able to find a role in the NBA.
