Bennett has not lived up to the #1 pick, I'll wait till after next season to officially label him a bust if he does not vastly improve.

I hope they move on from Rubio.

Team is stacked on draft picks. KAT should be the last piece that will put them over the next level. KAT + Wiggins could be a scary duo.

I think they should draft Okafor. Offensively, Okafor/Wiggins is really intriguing and I think they could make the playoffs in the 2016-2017 season.

Well if they stay as long as Love did, they'll be there until 2021.

If they stay as long as KG, they'll be there until 2027.

Seems like a pretty long time.

Add in Towns and they will have a really nice core going forward. They are still a few years from the playoffs though unless Wiggins ascends.

No kidding. Knowing what we know now, I still think Cavs make Love trade if they drafted Noel. After all they liked Bennett better enough to draft him over Noel and with his injury, I couldn't imagine he would be deal breaker for Love.

So imagine Wolves with Wiggins-Noel-Oak or KAT. With Rubio, LaVine, Dieng and Bazz.

No sleep on Lavine. He's a latent elite scorer. Just needs time to grow. He, Wiggins, and this pick (Towns/Okafor) are all BIG TIME studs. Just need to be molded together. Bennett still has to show that he belongs. It's Now or Never for him.

Who knew that Love could get you so much.

They also have Euro League MVP Nemanja Bjelica coming over next season.

absolute waste of a pick, huge bust

You can't change that he was picked number one in the draft.

Can people stop referring to Bennett as a "talent"? It paints a false picture.

If they get LeBron? Sure.

Rookies, if they pan out, take time. The stacked OKC team took 2 years to go from garbage to the playoffs, and that's the gold standard. If you think Minny can do the same, then you're expecting their young players to be Durant, Westbrook, and Harden level. I would bet against.

What I would give to have a PG that good on the Bucks. They should totally move on from him and send him our way. :pray:

OKC didn't have established players like Rubio, Martin, and Pek though. That's the beauty of the Wolves roster right now. They have established players with a ton of upside players.

Word, I think "phenom" is a more accurate description.

It's just too bad that Bennett turned out to be this bad, he's the perfect fit for that roster, they really need an athletic PF that can space the floor/run on transition/play some defense. Basically, everything he was supposed to be.

Instead he takes 20 footers.
