The Minnesota Timberwolves are used to picking in the top ten in the last couple years and now they are ready to mold their team into a budding franchise with having four picks in the first round including the fifth and sixth pick after sending Mike Miller and Randy Foye to Washington for the aforementioned pick, Oleksiy Pecherov, Etan Thomas, and Darius Songaila. Now the big question is what does Minnesota do?
The one thing that we do know about the T-Wolves for the past fifteen years is besides Kevin Garnett, they cannot draft to save their souls. I mean they deal Ray Allen to the Milwaukee Bucks for Stephon Marbury, yikes. Also they dealt Brandon Roy in 2006 which turned out for the worse as well. That was the biggest reason why Kevin McHale got the boot although they bring in a guy (David Kahn) according to Bill Simmons and Chad Ford who managed the Indiana Pacers from Portland, rut roh. So I don’t know if the Timberwolves are out of the dark with this guy either especially seeing they love Tyreke Evans. I cannot see Evans being a great player in the NBA because he is a scoring point guard and those never seems to pan out the way they are supposed to. The other big issue with having four first rounders this year is bragging about the Snorlax you took home on Saturday night. This draft is one of the worst we have seen in the last twenty years therefore who knows how good the players are going to be for Minnesota.
The Wizards despite Twitter complaints from DC area rapper Wale (if you don’t know who that is, download his stuff now) their team looks pretty strong for the 2009 season if they stay healthy. Miller has always been a better sixth man and none of the Wizards big three can ever consistently shoot the three. Also they have a guy in Foye who can play the 1 and 2 plus he is a great slasher to the post. I like this deal for the Wizards, they just need to get a front line guy in the draft to help their causes.
