With the 14th pick the Wolves pick....

who?

post your best prospects that fits what this team needs?

i think we need a strong PG to backup cassel,PG with good court vision with great passing but one who is strong and can go right to the hoop...i think the mook draft presentation of joey grahem is excellent....

were in great need of a BIG man who's strong and tallented...but as griffin supposed to work on his back to basket moves and so is KG(yaa theres something is not too good with, and that is that thing),and ollowakndi getting better since machale took a close watch at him....the PG need is stronger...

I agree with you. I don't think that there is as strong of a need for a Point Guard, because Cassell will likely be dealt for a Point Guard in return. Besides, it's very likely that Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Raymond Felton, and Jarrett Jack are all off the board by the #11 pick. A big man would be nice, but trust me, you don't want to waste your pick on Channing Frye. A few mock drafts have recently come up with a "guarantee" from a top 10 team for Frye, but that looks very paper thin. Odds are some team gambles on Frye around the 15-20 range just because this draft lacks height, but he's not worthy of a top 10 pick. You also don't want Johan Petro or Chris Taft, two guys with horrible work ethics. Joey Graham is just the best pick here simply because he's the best player available. I'm sure Wolves fans would love him. He's often called a Power Small Forward because of the intensity and toughness he brings to the game as a Small Forward. The kid can even bench more than 400 pounds.

man! the way you put joey i'm desperet for the guy!

 

I think that Joey Graham would be a good fit because this team needs to get back to playing defense, and I don't think there's a better defender in this draft than Graham. He would be a stopper and a bodyguard for Garnett with his tough play. He will need to work on his rebounding, however. There were a few times I watched him in college, even in his senior year after he was moved to the wing, when he didn't seem like he had good footwork or didn't box out his man. I know that's kind of nitpicking as he would be a 3 in the NBA, but it bears watching.

I think that the Wolves could also consider a guy like Antoine Wright if he's still on the board (unlikely) or Danny Granger for sure if he's still on the board (even more unlikely). They should look at guys who can score, because they might be able to lure a guy like Raja Bell with their MLE, and that would solve a bit of their perimeter defensive problems. All in all, however, I think that Graham would be a smart pick and that the Wolves should get a young point guard in whatever trade they can make, and grab scoring help with their MLE.

 

with things said on him ill be greatly dissapointed if we won't get graham...

 

i think the wolves should send a package of
their first round draft pick, and cassel or wally for a higher draft pick

 

I think they will go with the man in my avatar... Joey Graham.

 

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Swish15:</div><div class="quote_post">I think they will go with the man in my avatar... Joey Graham. </div>

I totally agree. I think the the T-Wolves need a guy that can step in and produce right away, not a project. Joey Graham is NBA ready in my opinion, and I think that he can step in and contribute right away.

 

DEAR GOD please give the wisdom to the managament to pick joey!

he's numbers speak up,his body is built greatly for a strong power making moves PG,he's terrific by personality....and no one hardly talks about him!

i hope no team will still him from us and that if not we will be smart enough to draft him...

 

I think a PG is well needed...but the center posistions is their weekest!!! Kandi-man, did start to somewhat pick things up, but channing frye would be a great addition to the team, second round they should worry about a PG....THEY should not trade WAlly though, i think szczerbiak is a huge part of the twolves.

 

u guys should try and go for Hakim Warrick. isnt KG's original pos. SF? then that would be great for Hakim cuz he'd be playing PF and SF and you'd have another KG type player, great intensity great athleticism, and intelligence. im a raps fan and would like them to draft hakim warrick, but that would hinder CB4's process and we're trying to fill holes in the first place. but i really feel u should go for him, or a PG as many have said b4, Sam is great but he's breaking down and everyone knows it.

PS: Do u guys still want spree? just wondering.... i know the raps dont want him im just curious

 

the fans obviously don't want spree back,machale did but taylor called the shots, the right ones i must add and decided spree won't continue with the team...

the last couple of weeks the intensity around warrick grew repidatley.
i will be wondered if no one picks him in the first 13 picks.
the wolves really need a strong PG of the draft(joey graham!).
wally can play starting 5 SF(just a tought).
than KG could still play the PF witch he's very good at.
a center could be signed,or stay with improving ollowakndi,maybe EG could start at center?

short ways,wolves got a lot of work ahead...

Joey Graham isn't a point guard, dude. Do your research.

HINT: If you're as big of a Wally-lover as you seem to be, Graham is not the player that you want in this draft.

i think joey can play PG in the nba,i really do.
i understood he got the skils for it.
i enjoyed greatly watching wall this year,he got back to his old self and i think he really deserves a strating 5 position.
can you expand on why i wouldn't want graham if wally's my fave?(he aint but anyway)...

 

Some insight into Joey Graham and his possible future with the Timberwolves...

1) Oh, you do? Well he can't.
2) I'm not saying that he doesn't deserve to start. I'm saying that he's not a point guard.
3) Yes, I can expand. Wally plays small forward. Graham plays small forward. You said that you thought Wally should start. They can't both start, so unless Minnesota is willing to either trade Wally or move Garnett to the center spot and play small with Graham at power forward, Graham is not a good fit here. Yes, he's a good player with a bright future ahead of him, but with so many holes on the Timberwolves and a frusterated marquee player, the team needs to consider position over talent come draft night.

Thanks, folks. I'll be around all week.

you make a good point but i havent said that graham half to start,he could be 6th 7th player and make the bench deeper.

anyway you still had a point,we'll just wait and see.

 

TWolves shopping pick?

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> The 14th pick is being shopped by the Timberwolves who apparently have grown used to not having first rounders after not having one in 3 out of 4 years, after the Joe Smith illegal contract agreement.

If the Timberwolves could add a shooting guard such as Martell Webster or Antoine Wright at 14, they would gladly hold onto their pick. But since both will be long gone by the time they select, they are actively shopping the pick.

The T-Wolves will move the pick to a team willing to take on a bad contract such as Wally Szczerbiak's. So far there has been some interest, possibly the Knicks, who just can't seem to spend enough.

JWHO,that's somethin interesting.

i wonder if we could shope our pick and get one in the 5-8 spots it'll be great! even a 9th could do it...

tough if we trade wally, we half to make sour our pick could never be a bust or this season could be doomed...

 

SO! 2 days left and we'll se the new talent,hopefuly promising one the wolves gonna pick...

anyone heard or read a clew on who it will be?

 

i heard we might trade wally for the #4 pick meaning wally will be a hornet and we get paul with the #4 pick and maybe mccants or warrick with the 14th pick
