RE: [mnbuckets] Re: Draft Night

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 (even Corey Brewer was more productive) as playing for the Timberwolves, I think the 5 would be Mayo, Roy, Allen, the immortal Paul Grant (I don't think he ever played for the team) and ... who?  I can't think of any other first round pick that never played for them, unless this is a trick question and you count Rick Mahorn, their top pick in the expansion draft.

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?

Another draft, another trade. This one supposedly was engineered by Taylor himself. Perhaps he was nervous about the box office potential of a troubled man...

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 couldn¹t help but think about Ray...

What happened to McCants? Despite his issues, he seems more like an NBA starter than Brewer. The Wolves got Love, Miller and (in the long run) a few million...

They offered Gomes, Smith and Richard. They may go after Telfair but like I said, there¹s a bunch of free agent 1s out there. The Wolves actually have some...

Brewer has not done anything to justify being an NBA starter. He did not score at all, he did not pass (lousy assist ratio), he did not rebound, and he did...
