Mullens and Casspi are the big ones for me as they're 2 of the 7 guys that I really want to see in a Wolves uniform based on possibility.

Evans/Holiday/Harden/Mullens/Daye/Casspi/Summers

[Winter Wonder]

Hopefully we won't have contract issues if we take a Euro with our late first rounder.

[big3_8_19_21]

If it's Casspi, I don't think it would be an issue. It seems like he really wants to play in the NBA.

[revprodeji]

Honestly. What does Henderson bring that Green does not? If anything, Green is a better defender. Both guys are role players, but they seem so similar.

Mullens and Casspi are a great sign.

[big3_8_19_21]

Henderson is more athletic and can create his own shot better than Green. Not to say Green won't be a nice pick where ever he goes, but I'd say that's what separates the two.

[big3_8_19_21]

Collison and Daye are the only ones that look very intriguing for the Wolves in the second work out. Maybe Lawal would be interesting, but obviously not particularly for the Wolves unless Love gets dealt.

LOL @ people wanting Mullins. Maybe at 45. And Henderson is on a different planet athletically than Green, and can create his own shot.

Mullins is over-rated ,he was outplayed by Nevill

[big3_8_19_21]

Where did you read that?

[Foye]

I would love Daye or Casspi ending up in Minnesota with #18 or #28.

I feel like they'll develop into solid contributors.

Uranus?

Where did you read that?

it was on draft express

"while B.J. Mullens really struggled at times against Utah’s Luke Nevill, looking disinterested in what was going on on the court, and appearing to be at least a few years away from being able to play significant minutes in the NBA."

[Devilzsidewalk]

nice, I like that 2nd round/late 1st workout. I kinda like Paul Harris in the 2nd round w/ a floor of rich man's Hassan Adams. Should be on an active roster at the very least, not bad for mid 2nd round.

[Worm Guts]

I'd still take Mullens at 18. That size, athleticism combination is rare.

[Devilzsidewalk]

I'd have him in the mix. Even if it turns out he sucks, just never play him but keep passing rumors about how awesome he looks in practice. Then put a bunch of interviews in the media with players about Mullens and have them keep mentioning how unstoppable he's going to be in a couple years.

Then we can package him and some other stuff for a disgruntled ultra star as we have the mandatory young prospect bigman that's core to any decent offer for a star

hmmm...interesting. I think there are probably better options than Mullens at 18 anyway.

Who cares about size and athletesism (sp?) if they don't know how to play basketball. I think you guys overrate these two things far too much when it comes to draft picks. I want 1. High bbiq 2. Team chemestry 3. Work ethic (usually translates to defense) 4. Size 5. Athletesim

Completely agreed.

I know the game extremely well. I can get along with ANYONE. For even a rookie minimum salary I'll work my butt off, take charges, set picks, dive for loose balls, get the donuts, and even carry luggage. I'm taller than Nate Robinson and a better athlete than Rafael Araujo.

DRAFT ME!

[Devilzsidewalk]

in theory the coaches are so amazing and the prospect of money and fame so strong, that these guys develop all the necessary skills. Doesn't happen plenty of times, but seems to be the basis
