my only thing about drafting a "C" is that there are quality players every year for minimum

Wolves just simply choose not to address it last year in FA or later with trade
Naz is quality player but they were so undersized across the frontcourt and the guards are awful at rebounding outside of PatBev

So we drafted Nurkic essentially?

A couple of things: one, doubt Reid remains with the team, and two, we'll finally see Towns with another center.

He might be the bpa, but since they traded diwn, they dont think he'a a steal.

The price to trade up for Duren/Williams was most likely a future 1st rounder. I would not do that.

So Kessler seems to be good and comfortable playing in drop coverage ? Can be really useful depending on some matchups then

TyTy, Hardy, Liddell, and Jovic all still available. We can get one of them unless they all go in the next four picks.

Man if we walk out of the first round with Kessler and Jovic....
Time to use one of those 2nds to trade back up.

I wouldn’t mind trading up from
40 to get both as well.

They could have loved him, but still took a calculated risk.

Still a lot of guys that would be good picks.

Hardy, Tyty, Chandler, Liddell, Wesley, Mcgowens, Jovic, Jaylin Williams,

No way as good as Nurkic, but I'd love it if true.

Now would be a good time to cash in a 2nd or two and move up a couple of spots.

Time to trade up from 40 and grab two of those.
Two of Hardy, Jovic or Wesley sounds good to me.

I didn't see him in the tournament but I am really happy to have a big. I was super tired of seeing us get manhandled by other bigs all season. Zero paint presence. We develop a formidable paint presence next season and it could be transformative.
