Just curious, what's the likelihood of Darko coming back?

I do not want to get into the "yes/no" because you can guess but neither of those guys are the guys Dr. K.

Interesting. If you take out those two then the list is short.

It depends on what the red flag was for. Bad fit, bad personality or not enough value?

I thought Rev meant red flag in the sense that he had to go back and look him up.

Red-flag is always something mental/off the court related.

That's what I thought, so I'm thinking it's Stephenson. Stop-n-Pop said he made the biggest impression from the workouts here in Minnesota.

We also know that I talk to S-n-P a lot. (kind of a soundboard thing)

I think the likelihood of Darko coming back is high. Rambis seemed to really like Darko's abilities. I give it a 75% chance Darko comes back...but what do i know??

Rambis saw in Darko what he needs out of a big in his system. Assuming Rambis is still part of the master plan, than so is Darko. Many times Rambis commented on Darko's skill set, and hinting that he some some stuff in practice that surprised him. Darko's confidence level slowly started to rise as the season finished up. It slowly started to translate to on the court production.

Kahn and Rambis know that Darko's NBA hours are real low, and that he still has a ton of upside that alot of folks on here, just can't look past the 7 seasons in the NBA, to see the room for progression. I bet they're hoping to get him around $5 mil, and that it will prove to be a steal.

I hope it is not Stephenson. If it is a red-flag guy, I hope it is Warren. Despite his name being dragged though the mud this year, he interviews really well, and seems very mature and intelligent. Last year he was a consensus top 10 guy.

As for Darko -- I think it is more likely 95% that the Wolves try to bring him back. If he doesn't come back it will probably be because he doesn't want to return to the U.S. and will have received a generous offer to play in europe and to keep his family more settled.

The two names I got were interesting. Both wings. Neither are euros. I was asked my opinion on them and I knew one of them pretty well but I red-flagged the other guy. It feels weird to have a scouting department that we trust.

Honestly, I was all for packing the pick to move up until that discussion.

I take it from this that we'll be combining the two picks in order to trade up for Motiejunas.

If I were to take a random shot in the dark as to the identity of the two (no need to confirm/deny, this is just me thinking out loud), I'd guess Ebanks and Stephenson, in which case, both should probably be red-flagged.

Guys I like for 23 are: Elliot Williams, Ebanks, JCraw, Terrico. Reason I pick those guys is their scoring ability. I'm looking for the next Manu and those guys if they have their head on straight could be very impressive.

[Breakdown777]

at 23, I like the BPA who falls. There are a few guys in the 16-20 range who will most likely fall. I vote taking that guy. I also really like Ebanks, because he seems like a solid defender with a workable offensive game, and MN sure does need some perimeter D.
