Take Williams and then trade him for value.

You should probably call out what the rule is. Is this who the Wolves take if they're going to keep the player, or is it basically a big board and you could pick for value with a mind to trade. Because that definitely affects my choice.

We can just say that we're drafting a guy because he has the best value.


2. Kanter (1), Williams (3)

Williams has the most value with the 2nd pick. If we're worried that Williams won't fit then why would we draft Kanter? Another undersized, unathletic big man = Love/Jefferson part II

I haven't read/heard anything about Kanter projecting to be a poor defender at the level. I've heard quite the opposite. I feel like he has the tools to be every bit of effective as Horford, Bogut, or Gasol on the defensive end.

He may turn out to be average or above average on d. The question is whether or not you want an average/above average defender next to Love. Ideally you have a guy next to him that can guard opposing teams' best offensive big man.

His defensive potential isn't as great as the other 3 guys you listed. Horford is a better athlete, Bogut is a better athlete with more length, and Gasol has more length and possibly better athleticism as well.

Absolutely agree.
