2013 Draft Targets (#9, #26, #52, #59)

Noel's injury is more severe than Irving's. Irving was playing by the end of the college basketball season, Noel might not be ready for the beginning of next season. Ultimately I think the injury will end up costing him a few spots but he'll still be selected in the lottery, maybe even top 5.

Oladipo having a great game. Kid is a quality defender and a smart player.

his shooting percentages are preposterous. I know he doesn't take a lot of shots, but #8 in the nation overall...as a starting sf...on the #1 team in the country. Thats so good it almost makes me nervous for the wolves to draft him. Its like "whats the catch"

What do you guys think about Kentavious Caldwell Pope?

Sounds more like a 2014 prospect

Just need to pass Sacramento and New Orleans to be #6.

Noel, Muhammad, McLemore, Oladipo, Porter, McCollum, Len. We'll have someone decent.

I wouldn't be upset with Zeller either.

White guys, especially center, are almost a guaranteed bust in the lotto. Love and Dirk are the only stars taken in the lotto in the past 400 years. Trust me, I checked basketball-reference.com

I don't think he'll be a star but I'm confident he'll be good, at least more confident than I am in the other white center (Len).

Statheads love Zeller.

Also what about this guy:

I know he play at PG, but he has the size to play off-ball. Plus, he was a SG in high-school.

I think Zeller would fit in our system, but he needs to add strength. We already know that Adelman won't play guys who get bullied in the post.

Love him, but not for us.

Because hes a point guard

Devilzsidewalk · Post #258 » by **Devilzsidewalk** » Wed Feb 20, 2013 4:37 am

i like him a lot too. Because of his size and the Wolves' potentially tenuous draft position, I wouldn't strike him off the list yet.

He's the same size as McLemore (actually bigger).

He was a wing in high-school.

He only plays point for OKState cause he's the better passer out of all their guards.

I actually think that he would be better off as an off-guard on the next level. He's not a natural PG, doesn't possess that kind of court vision. His decision-making with the ball is questionable (poor shot selection, turnovers). But he is big and aggressive enough to defend most NBA shooting guards. He's a great rebounder. His jumpshot is nice especially spotting up. His passing and ball-handling which are mediocre for a PG, are great assets for a SG.

And I actually like his pairing with Rubio. Think Rondo-Bradley in Boston.

He doesn't seem like a good shooter which might be a problem for us but I've never seen him play.
