Personally I don't want Brown, but I would understand it.

I definitely think Brown got underrated.

Brown is kind of surprising.

So Chriss is the target and Thibs gave Ford 4 other names.

I might be kind of upset about that.

Or Hield

My big board out of anyone other than Simmons and Ingram:

1. Bender
2. Murray
3. Dunn
4. Hield
5. Chriss*
6. Brown*

* Trade down for more value and pick up someone like Luwawu, Korkmaz, Sabonis etc. I really don't like Chriss or Brown, so I'd love it if those two get picked at 3 and 4.

This is a really frustrating draft for figuring out who the Wolves might pick. There are 4-6 guys that could go in almost any order for picks #3-#8. In addition, Thibs has no front office history (giving very little precedent to work with) and there has been almost no information coming out of the organization making it impossible to have any feel for what the Wolves are thinking. My personal preference in order would be Bender, Murray, or Dunn, so I hope the Wolves end up with one of those three.

Please no to Brown, Ellenson, and Chriss. Give me any of Bender/Dunn/Murray/Buddy and I'll be happy. Just please none of the first 3.

That's the best part about this process imo. Thibs has been doing his due diligence with workouts and meetings while keeping everything private. That's what good organizations do.

Chad Ford floating the idea out there that the Lakers may try to pick up another top 5 pick for D'Angelo Russell. Interesting. I like him, but I don't love him.

Pluses: he could play both guard positions and potentially help with 3pt shooting

Minuses: Would have to be happy with a Manu Ginobili super 6th man type role long term. We already have too many guys needing shots in the starting line-up. Seems immature. Also, no defense.

I have changed my mind a lot about Murray finally I like him.
He is young and talented.
I still cannot decide between Dunn,Murray and Jaylen Brown.

He seems to be a buddy of KAT, that's enough for me. He's also a a very playmaker.

That would mean the end for Rubio I feel.

I'm getting the feeling the top four go if no trades:

1. Simmons
2. Ingram
3. Brown
4. Chriss

If it goes this way, I hope we go Bender even if it takes 2 to 3 years for him to be a productive player. However, I think Thibs goes one of the guards (Dunn, Murray, Hield).

I'd rather have him straight up over Murray and Buddy.

Interesting that DX has us taking Hield and Ford has us taking anyone but Hield.

I'd definitely do it if Benders not there.

That's great for those of us who prefer Hield, cause Fraud has rarely gotten anything right in his career unless it was something evident to everybody.

Buddy worked out for the Lakers again. Maybe Ford is onto something with the Lakers sniffing around for another top 5 pick? They have to know Russell is their only asset that could land them one.
