Wolves season watch thread for the 2021 pick

[Flash Falcon X]

OMG I FEEL FOR THE WOLVES.

Imagine if Wiggins flourishes on the Warriors....
DLO and the Wolves are awful....lottery level awuful.
Lottery pick number 4 goes to Wolves.
Warriors ....make the pick...

THAT WILL HURT LIKE A MOTHERFO

You forgot to add... Warriors make the pick and it ends up being a perennial all-star who slipped past the Top 3.

Not unrealistic at all since many All-Stars and even superstars have landed outside even the Top 5. Even past the top 10 you got guys like Klay Thompson, Paul George, Giannis, Adebayo, etc. getting selected.

Greatest trade in the history of man;

Andrew Wiggins and the 2021 wolves pick (top 3 protected) for D Loser

Thanks again Minnesota for making our dreams come true again and again! Lol

[Little Digger]

Wiggins and Holmgren for Russell ? Tough to call a winner

[Jester_]

Minny really is the gift that keeps on giving. Edwards, predictably, looks to tap out as a barely efficient scorer at best. Idk when people will stop being mesmerized by inefficient but athletic combo gaurds... when does it ever work out in today's league?

Your best case is Donovan Mitchell who isn't even that good.

I maintain that if it was just Wiggins for DLo, we won that handily too. The pick makes it bonkers

I had this mentality for so long, and I talked down Steph and Dame in the draft process because of it. Flat out not good at IDing which scoring guards can make good NBA PGs based on their college play

I'm just laughing at how done a lot of Wolves fans are at DLO already.

I always try and lean on those three point and free throw percentages in these cases.

I’m hearing a ton of buzz about Jalen Green and his crazy athleticism. And there is no doubting that the kid is an amazing athlete and has all of the shots.

The problem is he’s really inefficient. And until he gets his numbers in a consistently good space, I would advise heavily against drafting him.

Well the Warriors may have a chance to draft a player with elite athleticism.

Will they say no?

Depends on if the guy can shoot. Can’t keep bringing in non shooters, no matter what

KATs injury is setting them back. GSW knows what that is like, though KAT shouldn't miss that much time. I hate to revel in Minny's woes, feels like bad karma. I do think their FO has made some pretty miserable choices, though.

Keyword inefficient*

Dame and Steph were both crazy efficient even in college

Sounds like he may miss more time than they originally expected.

[floppymoose]

The D'Angelo Russell Thread on the Minny board is about what I expected at this point. They've really soured on him.

[marthafokker]

End of the night will be tied for the bottom 3rd. Soon GSW fans will worry they will suck too much.

Yeah me too. I knew they'd be bad on defense, like historically bad, but the injury to KAT and the current outlook for the franchise is pretty grim, like '01 Warriors grim.

I hope that team gets sold. They need fresh management.

As bad as Russell’s been, he’s still a better offensive and defensive player than Anthony Edwards ..I’ve never seen a lazier gaurd than THE ANT MAN

He’s got incredible talent but you can’t tell he hates the game..Sticking with my Ukraine call


Let’s get that #1 overall in 22..

I'm watching the game and DLo's having one of his good shooting spurts, but the guy I really like from their team is Vanderbilt.. he sticks out like a sore thumb as someone playing his heart out on defense over there

They have too many shooting guards on that team

He was really good tonight!

Good enough that i'm back on board.

Still unlikely that we win a game without Towns but still.
