My overall Wolves draft board would be something like this.

1. Griffin - You don't pass on a guy like this.
2. Harden - The more I watch this kid and break it down the more I start to believe he is a 20/5/4 SG down the road.
3. Holiday - I'm sold that he will be at least an Andre Miller type pro with a higher ceiling.
4. Evans - At times I think he could be the best player from this entire draft class, then I remember he can't shoot consistently.
5. Curry - Maybe a small college bias against him but I can't put him higher.
6. Thabeet - If a 7'3 C who blocks 4+ shots and grabed 10 rebounds a game slides in this draft it'll be hard to pass, it'll also make you wonder if those teams have a reason.
7. Flynn - I think he can be an excellent offensive PG not sure he can defend but he's better then some of the other successful small PG's in the NBA right now.
8. Rubio - I think he is a few years away from being ready and would be hard to keep past his rookie contract. I don't want a guy who needs two years and is a serious threat to go back to Europe when he hits free agency if things aren't going well.

As far as ranking the guys we've got a realistic shot at, my first take was that I don't trust anyone in this draft to be the ball dominant guard we need, let's just upgrade our athleticism and get out of here. My board looked like this:

Derozan
Evans
Holiday
Harden

But then I'm like, you're thinking too hard. Take the best player available, dummy and my list shifts to this:

Harden
Evans
Derozan/Holiday

I like the current DX mock a lot: 6 Evans/ 18 Mullens/ 28 Calathes/ 45 Gibson/ 47 James

That's tons of size and athleticism and a nice prospect to stash to boot.

I can see trading our #18 pick for a first rounder next year. I mean, Mullens is probably good value at #18, but he's not really what I had in mind for the backup/project center.

What did you have in mind? If you're looking for a project center without spending a lottery pick, Mullens is probably as good as it gets.
