The Minnesota Timberwolves find themselves in a precarious position in this year’s NBA draft. Their biggest decision will be whether or not they can justify trading their pick and getting enough assets in return. Or if they should keep the pick and select another young player they hope to add to their already youthful core.
The biggest reason why Tom Thibodeau and the Minnesota Timberwolves want to trade their seventh pick is that they do not believe that they can find an immediate contributor at that spot in the draft.
With Zach LaVine, Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins all 22 years of age or younger, the last thing the Timberwolves want to do is add more youth to their equation.
