The last two drafts have been a bit of a roller coaster for the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 2020 NBA Draft provided fans with the unbridled joy that is Anthony Edwards, while the 2021 NBA Draft provided fans with a constant headache from the incessant taunts of losing the draft pick. In terms of excitement, the 2022 NBA Draft will likely fall in the middle of the last two for Timberwolves fans. While not picking in the lottery deprives fan bases of selecting one of many prematurely anointed “stars”, it also means that they can focus more on specific roster construction instead of just the best player available (a rare situation for the Timberwolves).
