Poll: Who should the Wolves take with the #1 overall pick?

[Note30]

Horrible maybe hyperbole on my part, but some of the reaction on this board if Towns isn't the pick and if [b]Okafor is then guys will be turning in their fan cards. [/b]

Also if Towns game doesn't translate and we pick him and if Okafor is the next great Laker big man then it will be a horrible pick. It goes both ways. Dieng was supposed to be a very good defensive big man, but it hasn't translated. Nobody is a sure thing.

Look I don't want to say anything negative about Towns. I'm not trying to make a case against him. I'm trying to make a case for Okafor. His offensive game and potential is very appealing provided we can turn him into a solid defender like the Kings did to Cousins. Also Marc Gasol wasn't a defensive wizard when he was drafted and he improved. There is no reason Okafor can't improve and if Flip looks over the film and see fixable areas of his game he can improve then I see no reason not to draft him number 1. Especially the way Flip views him offensively.

Seriously its asinine. Its like Okafor doesn't even have a shot. The dude was the runaway consensus pick back in February, and then in five-six months its the other way around, where Okafor was rumored to drop all the way to 4. The dude is bad at free throws yes, his defense might be shotty at the moment, but with KG on the team, no way Okafor gets to keep up that act.

Erase all frowns by drafting Towns. Shut the door on Okafor.

Make the piggies squeal by drafting Jahlil. Umm, something something for Karl-Anthony.

Towns' interview + workout footage:

Solid answers. Specially liked the part where he says that he should do both workouts and interviews with the teams and the part how he prepares his body and his game for 82+ games.
Still 22 long days left for Flip to make a decision based on what the team needs for the next decade and not what his system needs next year.

If he picks Okafor I'm sure that's precisely what the reasoning behind the decision will be....

Ignore the superior draftee and pass on Karl-Anthony

The Towns mega fans in here need to stop acting like Okafor will be the next Hasheem Thabeet. They're both great prospects, the franchise won't implode if we don't draft Towns.

Not saying he's the next Eddy Curry (technically Michael Sweetney was the next Eddy Curry, so Okafor would be the one after him) but they did studies and people with Okafor's hand size are more prone to mushing the cake when they try to slice it. You really want this guy handing out slices at your birthday party? I don't.

Do the hustle for D'Angelo Russell

be a franchise-wrecker and go draft Sam Dekker

I am kind of avoiding saying how I really feel and not allowing my emotions to talk because this thread is going to have a lot of 'bite you in the butt' potential in five years. But at this point, Towns seems like the higher reward, and less risk prospect than Okafor to me. And I am concerned that Saunders prefers Jahlil at this point still.

Ensure your future sucks dick like Monica Lewinsky and change the top of your draft board to Frank Kaminsky

Could put those on signs. Follow Flip around chanting at him. He's, like, "**** it. I'll pick Towns if you guys just SHUT UP!" Win.

I'm on board with this.

Towns should be the pick.

cmon buddy, you can't just show up whenever you feel like it. Get back in the dungeon with revprodeji.

There's a dungeon now? Sweet.

I get suspended if I post here too frequently. Or at least on the big boards.

Okafor has Downs, so please draft Towns.

Repeal Hack-a-Jalil...

If I'm an opposing defense and Jalil gets the ball he's getting fouled hard, because he only makes half his free throws. You can take away his only strength on the court late in every game with this strategy. He won't be shooting 60% in the post because he won't be getting the chance at all in the 4th quarter. Flip would have to bench him late in the game.

Do you honestly want to watch this?
