Which Position is most important for Wolves to fill? 

Post#1 » by Doubledyll » Wed Jun 24, 2009 11:15 am

This is my first post for a new topic and i just wanted to know which position you guys think is most important for the Wolves to fill this offseason. PG, SG, SF, PF, C.

also, who do you think would be best to draft to fill the position you think needs work.

Point guard. Rubio! Although we're pretty weak at both guard spots atm, shooting guard can be addressed later on.

Which are they in need of in order:

SG- have none currently
PG- Telfair. He could start since we truly are not in a position to go anywhere this season. But I would prefer to get someone through the draft to be our starter.
C- Jefferson, Love, or Thomas are all possibilities here.

I would like them to fill it in this order however:

PG
SG
C

PG: Rubio or Evans if available at #6
SG: Harden if available at #5
C: Mullens if available at #18 If Rubio/Evans or Harden are not available at #5 anymore draft Thabeet.

After the trade it leaves us with these guards - Bobby Brown, Sebastian Telfair, Kevin Ollie. We definitely need a guard.

Ollie isn't on the team anymore. But yeah, the Wolves need multiple guards.

Yeah this is PG easily. SG can be filled easily and I'm okay with Jefferson manning the C spot full time (for now).

I completely agree here. PG then SG then C

Rubio Harden and Mullens would be ideal but if we can't get rubio at 5 or 6 then i would go for Jennings or Maynor at PG and Evans or DeRozan at SG. I do think Mullens would be around at 18 and he would allow Al to play PF more which is his natural position.

Since the Washington trade is done, the center position can wait (it has to).

PG and SG are needed.
Pick 3 (#5/#6/#18): Rubio, Evans, Curry, Flynn, Harden, Jennings, Holiday, DeRozan, Henderson, Lawson, and Ellington are waiting ....
