Minnesota Timberwolves select Jaylen Nowell in second round

After trading up from No. 11 to the No. 6 pick in the NBA Draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves landed a second wing player later in the night.

The Timberwolves shipped Dario Saric to the Phoenix Suns along with the No. 11 pick and received the No. 6 pick in return. The Wolves then picked Texas Tech’s Jarett Culver sixth, leaving them with the No. 43 pick at their disposal.

The Wolves stayed put this time and doubled down on wing help, selecting the University of Washington’s Jaylen Nowell a No. 43.

Nowell was the PAC-12 Player of the Year after his second consecutive impressive season with the Ducks.
