The Minnesota Timberwolves have a definitive, yet versatile core moving forward that will allow President of Basketball Operations Tim Connelly and his front office to travel down nearly any possible path in Thursday night’s NBA Draft.
Despite how quickly the Wolves have ascended from the depths of the NBA to a likely perennial playoff team, that doesn’t mean that they have any incredibly pressing needs that must be addressed on draft night.
Presuming a D’Angelo Russell comes should not guide Minnesota’s plan of attack on Thursday. Even if the Wolves essentially ran it back next season, it is fair to believe they will return to the playoffs and potentially win a first-round series at worst, health permitting.
