After one of the best drafts in recent memory, with a star-studded lottery, useful role players throughout the first round, and a few hidden gems in the second, the 2019 draft certainly feels like a letdown. Unlike last year, when the Wolves would have been debating between Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Miles Bridges at #11, both of whom I would have rated as top five picks this year, we are left discussing a series of prospects with tantalizing but very flawed profiles.
However, if we look to the second round, there are still several players being mocked near or below the Wolves’ #43 selection that could end up as valuable NBA players.
