Timberwolves Draft Opinion

Draft Express has updated their mock: Here

It has the Wolves taking Jack at #14 and Alan Anderson in the second round.

I think both guys would be excellent additions to the team. Of course it creates a log jam at PG and SG so you'd have to ship some guys out.

Send Cassell and Hassell to New Orleans for PJ Brown, George Lynch and Maciej Lampe.

Resign Griffin with the MLE
Sign SG Kerry Kittles or SG Jon Barry to the Vet Min

2005-2006 Timberwolves

PG Jack/Hudson
SG Kittles or Barry/Anderson/Hoiberg
SF Wally/Ebi
PF Garnett/Lampe/Madsen
C Griffin/Brown/Olowakandi

When the Wolves want to run, Hudson and Jack can play in the same back court. If they want to go big, Wally slides to 2, Griffin to 3 and they bring in Brown or Olowakandi. Kittles/Barry and Hoiberg give the team good shooters off the bench and if one of Lampe or Ebi turns into a player the Wolves are ahead.

Since the new roster minimum is 14 another player would be needed to flesh out the roster, probably a veteran stable PG. Also I would love to see the Timberwolves sign a high school kid or other project who goes undrafted and stick them in the NBDL for two years. A center would be ideal.

Significantly lowers the age of the team and in Anderson and Jack adds two young bodies to work on hard on D. By the playoffs, Anderson will have grown into Hassell's former defensive stopper role.
