Sounds like the writer is convinced that NAWis the pick ("exactly what the timberwolves need")...
11. Timberwolves - Nickeil Alexander-Walker, PG/SG, Virginia Tech
The Timberwolves biggest need in the draft is a point guard and Alexander-Walker checks that box.
He's a true combo guard who can run the point but could also play the 2 alongside Jeff Teague. He's a playmaker first but can score the rock when necessary. Alexander-Walker is fantastic as a pick-and-roll ball handler, which bodes well playing alongside Karl-Anthony Towns and Dario Saric. His ability to shoot should space the floor for Towns and Andrew Wiggins but he can also score at the rim as well, which should open up perimeter looks for Robert Covington.
His long wingspan and defensive IQ pairs well with the T'Wolves' first-round pick from last season, Josh Okogie, giving Minnesota two very solid defenders in the backcourt.
Alexander-Walker is exactly what the Timberwolves need.
Only the 2nd or 3rd time I've seen NAW mocked for that pick, but it's starting to feel like NAW wouldn't be a reach that high...
I get a good vibe on NAW, but picking him at 11 just seems too high. Take a risk trade back and see if we can get him plus another asset.

Twix is trying to be funny and IMO he's being a bit of a jerk. He doesn't want Miami to take Clarke so he comes here posting how great Clarke is.

Honestly not much separation between the guys we'd be choosing from at 11 and at 43.
I don't see any starters there.
So many guys who are undersized, out of position, lack raw athleticism, or just have gaping holes in their game.
Not even a raw athletic prospect like Lavine, Maybe Sekou is closest to that.
Someone could slip if a couple guys go ahead of us who shouldn't,
but this is the least excited I've been for a lottery pick since the year we picked Corey Brewer.

Brandon Clarke is not the best scenario for us, Sekou or Cam Reddish sliding is
