If we get the #1 overall pick next year, who do we choose? 

Post#1 » by Torcher » Wed Dec 22, 2010 2:52 am

Yes, a bit early but it looks like we are bound for another top 5 lottery pick season. If we somehow get the number 1 overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft (If the basketball gods allow it), who will we choose? Will we draft another point gaurd, Kyrie Irving, who is the projected #1 pick, or the bigman Perry Jones? What about Barnes?

What do you think?

seriously we really did have this chat and if we'd be open to taking another PG in the draft if Irving was there. didn't we?

If Barnes can prove he is an all-around player and plays good defense, I take him.

Didn't Barnes say he was staying at least another year?

Perry Jones makes me misty eyed in a way that only a Julie Roberts dramedy can... this guy is going to be a killer.

That really wouldn't bother me. I think he's still overrated.

Based of highlights does Perry Jones dunk exactly like KG. I still want that guy.

We'll get a #1 pick in 2012 when it is unprotected and goes to the Clippers.

I want whoever is the consensus #1 overall pick. But knowing this teams luck it'll be Kyle Singler.

The real question is what position you should draft... How many players will stick with the team and what are the new additions. Its more complicated than adding a start on the roster.

This thread should be locked. Wolves never get the 1st pick.

Irving duh. Then let the trade offers roll in for Rubio, Flynn, and Irving. Take the best offer.

Lac, Sac, NJ, Det, CLE, & CHA all look to be in the running for Lotto picks. All need a PG solution.
