Next on the clock is the Minnesota TimberWolves. I think they go with Cousins, but Wesley Johnson seems to be on most mock boards.

Roster
Signed: Al Jefferson (F-C), Ramon Sessions (G), Kevin Love (F-C), Jonny Flynn (G), Corey Brewer (G-F), Ryan Hollins (F), Wayne Ellington (G-F), Ryan Gomes* (G-F).
*Unguaranteed

# 1 - John Wall with 72%Image

# 2 - Evan Turner with 88%Image

# 3 - Derrick Favors (Johnson) with 54%

Mock Draft Projections
Wesley Johnson - NBADraft.net

Demarcus Cousins - DraftExpress.com

Wesley Johnson - ESPN.com

Derrick Favors (not updated, says GS in the 4!) - HoopDoctors
With a ridiculous upside that rivals only Wall, Favors could be a lock as a 20-10 player at the next level because of a long wingspan, which helps make him an excellent shot-blocker and rebounder. Offensively, he has an excellent power game around the rim and can shoot comfortablyout to 15 feet, which could work well in the pick-and-roll heavy NBA but is far from a finishedproduct. Rumored to possess an excellent work ethic, Favors could be a fow post force reminicent of Elton Brand coming out of Duke. Comparison: Antonio McDyess.

DeMarcus Cousins, who is traded to Philly along with the #16 pick.

There is ZERO chance they draft Wes Johnson for those picking him.


They can easily trade down with SAC or DET to get him or Aminu.

Kahn doesnt seem to be the smartest guy, I think he goes with Wes Johnson here.

Wesley Johnson IMO. Cousins is just a question mark coming into the draft overweight and with apparent temper problems. They need wing help as well and Wes Johnson makes sense here.

Wesley Johnson. They already have several bigs in Darko, Jefferson and Love. Right now they need to solidify their wing positions. Not to mention that Johnny Flynn and Wesley Johnson knew each other from their syracuse days. Although they never played together because Johnson had to sit out because he transferred over, they did practice together.

Take it from a Wolves fan, it will be Cousins.
