The Minnesota Timberwolves made the perfect pick in the 1995 NBA draft. In selecting Kevin Garnett they solidified the face of their franchise for the next twelve years.
But what followed after that were some very questionable draft day moves. Imagine if Minnesota had been able to hit on a few picks and helped surround Garnett with more talent.
Let’s take a look and see what could have happened if Minnesota nailed their draft choices in 1996, 1997 and 1998.
In 1996, the Timberwolves actually made the right pick. They selected Ray Allen fifth overall.
Only they immediately swapped him for Georgia Tech freshman Stephon Marbury.
