On draft day I almost sent a post saying, Pick Love! Pick Love!
Then I thought, well, Mayo is a good pick.
And, then, I couldn’t help but think about Ray Allen and Brandon Roy. Is O.J. Mayo the next coming of Allen and Roy? Do Allen and Roy sound like a comedy duo or what?
Well, I like Love’s game. And the Wolves now suddenly have a hole at the point. But there’s a whole bunch of guys (free agents) out there who can play the point. I’m not sure that Tyronn Lue might not be better than Sebastien Telfair (not Mayo, but Telfair). So we’ll see. In the short term I’d be pretty sure that Mike Miller is the real difference maker for the Wolves.
Starting for the Wolves: Jefferson, Love, Brewer, Miller and Foye? Not much of a defensive unit is all I can say, other than Brewer. But if Miller is half the shooter they’re making him out to be, this lineup should score. Unless Brewer and Foye insist on taking a bunch of shots.

mine), Pecky Smilanich, with the next Wolves pick.

Don't know about Richard, but Gomes and Smith would have been the two I would have offered contracts too. Agree on the availability of decent backup point...
Assuming the guys they traded, like Mayo, don't come back, who are the five (if I'm counting them all) top draft picks of the Wolves who never played for them?...
OK, this is off the top of my head, so I'm not cheating by checking the internet. Assuming that we consider Ndudi Ebi and Will Avery's enormous contribtutions...
