    What do u guys think we should do with the 6th pick. i personally think we should trad edown and draft patrck o'bryant or rajon rondo, maybe swap picks with philly and send some more for iverson. i dont know though what do u guys think?

    As of right now, what I see that needs to be addressed is another big man. Patrick O'Bryant would be a great addition to this squad, but I definitely do not see taking him at 6 being very smart. How about trying to trade down and get a veteran shooting guard and then drafting O'Bryant at the 10-15 range. That way you solve your bench problem with the lack of shooters on the squad and you get a good quality big man without giving anything up. I think that it will all add up in the end.

    I think you guys need a veteran PG running things, if not then Marcus Williams for his pass first style game. That causes a problem at the point because that would make 5 PG's. You should let carter go and trade Hudson and Jaric for a veteran big man like P.J Brown or some like him who can grab alot of rebounds.

    I like that idea, but i really like rondo. He is also pass first, but he can defend and bound with any pg out there. I know Marcus is a better playmaker, but i think the wolves should trade down in this draft.

    rondo's good but williams has proven that he can consistant and make an instant impact on a team, he would also complement davis' and KG's game very well. but i still think the biggest worry is a big body so as to take some of the pressure off KG inside, someone who can get second chance shots under the ring and can block and rebound consistantly.

    I think we need a center. We have NEVER had a decent center in minny and this draft could get us one in O'Bryant.

    Does anyone no of who are the highest rated centers in the draft?

    I actually think Rudy Gay will fall here regardless of who is available.

    I wouldnt mind rudy gay at all, but we need a center a lot more than we neeed a sf. Maybe we could trade like jaric for another pick or something.
