I'm still hoping for Murray or Hield.

They haven't watched him play. :lol:

Why is it that you so freely insult other posters simply because they aren't 100% bashing a certain player? You attack our intelligence because we might be open-minded and are not settling for the same guy. You don't see anyone attacking you, do you, telling you that you must not have watched any video on the guy you like?

Let's stick to talking about the actual draft prospects and not attacking each other for the prospects we like, please.


You are the one personally attacking someone.

I have a strange feeling Bender will be available at 5 and we'll end up taking someone else lol

Last week I had Dunn as the pick but now I'm leaning towards Hield if no trades. I don't think The Celtics will pass on Murray and with Bledsoe, Booker & Knight, the Suns should be going front court.

Just see a video of Bender moving around, superb athleticism for 7 footer,and showed 2 way potential, sure sure top 5. More 3rd pick than 5th pick imo

I wish the Wolves had a 2nd round pick this year. DX has interesting players available all the way through the 50's. I really like McCaw, LeVert, Bentil, Glove Jr, and Whitehead.

I think that Jaylen Brown will be a top-5 pick.
My prediction is that the top -5 will be
Simmons, Ingram, Brown, Dunn, Hield or Murray.

In Ford's latest mock, he said the Wolves are considering 4 players: Dunn, Bender, Murray and Brown.
Brown is kind of surprising.

If we take Brown I will spew.

I'm higher on Brown than most here. He can play with both Lavine and Wiggins and gives us the potential to play with a set wings that have both great size and athleticism. The big issue is the shooting but that's usually something that can be improved.
