Dude, seriously, Rubio is arguably the highest upside player in this draft... I love it, I love the Wolves and I'm so glad they got him.

Watching it on timberwolves.com Wish I could see ESPN's take on it.

Stephen Curry seems to make the most sense. But then hopefully Brewer develops into a big guard to make our 3 guard rotation.

Kevin Love just became a 16/11 guy because of the pick and rolls with Rubio. Curry's sharpshooting makes for beautiful spacing and prevents help defense as Love eats up the defense.

Trade up to get Earl Clark because we need the size and I'm happy.

C - Jefferson
PF - Love
SF - Clark
SG - Curry
PG - Rubio

i've been a free agent fan since Jason Williams retired. i am now officially a Minnesota Timberwolves fan. (Yes, i have a thing with caucasian flashy point guards.)
If there is no basketball in heaven, i am not going.
