The Timberwolves drafting a point guard in October is very likely to occur for three reasons:
- This class is point/lead guard heavy. If you average the rankings of the The Ringer, The Athletic and ESPN’s Big Boards, 17 different players who profile as a lead guards show up in the top 30 of at least one of those Big Boards.
- The Wolves have three top 33 picks — their own first round pick (that will fall somewhere between 1 and 7); Brooklyn’s first round pick (currently slotted at 16th); their own second round pick (33rd overall).
