If we're keeping it: Edwards

If we're trading it: Wiseman

If I have no idea what we'll do with it: Ball

I think I've decided I hate the NBA draft. It's not about getting the best player anymore.



Its not about want, who do you think they will pick? I say Ball, hoping for Wiseman despite the not ideal fit.



I dont think they will take Edwards unless they trade down to 3, atleast I hope not.

That's HUGE REASON to be NERVOUS.


Feel like this board is going to explode in the next ten minutes. I’m nervous for the pick and people on this board.

There is no assurance they are taking who they think is best. They quite possibly are taking who they think everyone espects them to take in order to hopefully get more in trade later tonight. But that might not get them a trade at all. It's also possible Rosas has had a trade in place for days already, maybe three deals in principle if nothing better happens in the next few minutes. Eggshells crushing right now! Nerves! Pain! Oh wait, this impacts me none. exhale

Whoever we have identified as a future star, that's who we should take. I don't care what position they play. This is where your homework comes in to play.

I'm honestly not happy with any of the top 3 right now. So I'm not sweating it. Just want to see who we take and how the Wolves think he can fit.

I almost for a second there thought you meant actual heart issues. That's how ready I am for news I didn't expect right now.

We ran out the clock. We lost our pick. Ultimate wolves move.

Jay Bilas only one who wants to be direct and truthful in his assessment. The others just sugar coating.
