He might. Let’s see his official measurements. I know reports says he’s now 6’3” in shoes now with 20 extra pounds, which will help. But he’s still not a great athlete. I kinda see him profiling as a Seth Curry type. Seth Curry is a very productive player when healthy, good BBIQ, great shooter, and approximately same size/athletic ability as Terry.

Am I undervaluing Terry? Maybe underselling his athleticism? Didn’t watch a lot of Stanford this year.

At #17 I am super happy to get that kind of player, for what it is worth. Dude is a hard-nosed defensive player, even with being lightweight.

I was surprised when I saw that he is able to read opponent offense by using his IQ.

So a news report comes out theother day about Terry putting on weight/muscle or something and adding an inch or two...is it? And now all of a sudden the easily hyped are talking about him at our draft pick 17? When previously we couldn't get anyone to have any interest in him or any of the other good shooters of this draft at our top two picks. Did that one inch or whatever erase your fears about him. So be it. Boy this lenghty combine is going to produce one prolonged hype spin on one player after another from now until the draft.

Canis...according to Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Wasserman:

According to a Western Conference executive, word around the league is Minnesota isn’t leaning one way at No. 1, sounds “confused” and feels pressure after “messing up last year by trading for Jarrett Culver.”

Boy this "western conf exec" is a real dick.

He’s been brought up before at 17, personally I believed wolves could trade down from 17 to about 21-23 and get him but with new weight gain probably not happening.

Maybe it is Rosas and his goal is that he wants Edwards to drop (when he trades down with the Bulls or Charlotte) AND also light a fire under Culver’s ass.

Trade back with the Cavs and pick up Larry Nance Jr.

Can Ty Terry be the same type of player?

People had been talking about Terry at 17 long before the report. Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Yes. With better hops.

If we tease back my guess is it would be for OO, so I’d prefer we acquire more shooting.

Also, Nance is injured a lot.

There may have been a mention of Terry at 17, but barely a blip on the radar. The report comes out and it's the same report you hear about a hundred players every offseason and all of sudden we have to trade up from 17 to get him. He seems like a decent prospect at 17, but certainly not somebody we should be trading up from 17 for.

If we're targeting OO than most likely Nance is not the guy. However, if we like the idea of Nance at SF it still might work. Nance is a solid 3 point shooter that when you factor in how he does everything well he is better than shoot only guys. If we trade for Nance and Avdija is available at pick 5 he is the guy, but probably goes 4 to Chicago or earlier.
Nance has had his share of nuisance injuries, but not a history that would significantly worry me.

Size would be the issue. Herro measured in at 6’6” in shoes at the combine, albeit with short arms. Terry is reportedly 6’3” in shoes now, but I’ll wait till official measurements come out to believe it.

What makes Herro effective is not only the shooting and BBIQ but his irrational confidence, which a lot of veterans don’t even have.

I couldn't agree more. The kid can really play. He's just so slight. We really don't need a pg either. I'd like to see us take a PF type at 17. Is there much chance Terry falls to early 2nd round?

I really doubt Terry would be available 2nd round, but it's not out of the question. Unexpected things happen in the draft.

Questionable he will even fall out of the Lottery, much less the First Round.

Unlikely, I wouldn't say impossible.
I was just about Shocked when Clarke fell to 21 last year and Bol Bol fell to what? Mid second round?

No combine measurements for Ball.

Who should Minnesota Pick at #1 (Assuming Minnesota keeps the pick)?
