It would have to be BPA. Since we might have none, that's right 0 guaranteed starters (by that I mean guys who can definitely start on a contender), then every position has to be considered up for grabs.

Looks like they are reporting Corey Brewer might be the favorite... I am slowly starting to lose interest in Noah though... I am hoping we go with Thorton at 7, which is not that much of a reach. Since we have been in the lottery, it seems like there a lot of reaches made before us and some good players slip to us, yet we stick to our pick. The past two years, we all kind of figured out who the wolves wanted, and even though I felt there were way better players available, we stuck with the guy we wanted.

yeah it seems the people who pay enough attention leading up to the draft can lock on to who the wolves are high on and going to pick.
we managed to do it with mccants and foye in consecutive years and this time it appears to be between hawes and brewer.

I personally would take Brewer but would not be disappointed in taking Hawes. It is not every year that we can get our hands on a coordinated center with a lot of potential. Brewer at 6-9 and a lock down defender could really help our team, but a legit center is always nice. I won't be disappointed with either pick.

The Timberwolves expect to choose from four players - Florida's Corey Brewer and Al Horford, Washington's Spencer Hawes and Georgetown's Jeff Green - with their No. 7 pick in Thursday night's NBA draft.

Depends. If we lose Garnett then I'm fine with the Hawes pick. Otherwise get someone who can produce right now.

If we keep garnett i think Jeff Green is the best pick, most ready to contribute and fills a position of need.

either him or noah.

I think Hawes is the worst pick if KG stays... Hawes is a project and will need time. Thorton and Green would probably be the worst picks if KG is gone.... Horford is gone by 7 so that leaves 3. I think the REAL question right now is if you go with Brandan Wright if he falls to 7, which nearly every mock feels he will be dropping farther. Wright could be a good replacement for KG... I still feel that Brewer could easily be the best pick for any situation...

well god knows what picks we are actually going to end up with once all is said and done.
IF garnett is shipped then i guess we take hawes at 7.

then if the atlanta deal were to go through, horford and maybe green/brewer slip to 11.

if a boston deal went through then maybe take hawes and wright as a future front court.

Mateo · 06-27-2007, 03:14 PM

I'm off Hawes. Those rebounding numbers are unforgivable. I hope we don't take him, no matter what happens with Garnett.

JuX · 06-27-2007, 03:48 PM

I never knew that Hawes guy but from what I read about him. He got a nice size but no inside presence and the lack of quality rebounding down inside make me not wanting him on our team. Horford was the first choice but he will be gone anyway. I do not want Spencer Hawes and would not change my mind later.

**Avalanche** · 06-27-2007, 03:50 PM

but if a guy reminds mchale of himself then he is going to pick him... wolves logic ftl

Mateo · 06-27-2007, 03:54 PM

If we get the #3 pick in a trade, then we'll at least get Horford, and I'll breath a little easier thinking that we at least got 1 guy who was a consensus #3. Unless McHale does the unthinkable and takes someone else at #3.
