TimberWolves 11th Pick
Nasser Little
Height: 6-foot-6 | Weight: 224
The former top-five recruit saw his stock drop after an inconsistent freshman season, but he has appeared to have worked his way back into the lottery with a strong pre-draft process, particularly by showing better outside shooting potential.
Little's toughness, athleticism and long-term potential will be attractive to an organization that is attempting to reboot its culture after the dismissal of head coach Tom Thibodeau and the hiring of a new decision-maker in Gersson Rosas.

France guy goes 9th to Wizards.
Rui goes 12, PJ Wash goes 13, Clarke goes 14.
I want a guy who can potentially be the starting 4 of the future. Little would be playing behind Wigs, Roco, and Okogie.

Roco is first team all defense and has 3 years left on his deal.
They are entrenched as the starters for the long run at the 2 and 3.
Josh Okogie showed lots of promise as a very good role player in the Marcus Smart role who will play 20+ mins behind those two.

It amuses me that you consider his status among leading scorers to be a viable anecdote in the effort to prove his worth, when in reality it only magnifies the ineptitude of a 30-year old franchise.UnFadeable21 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 11:39 am Wigs has 4 years left and is the number 2 all time wolves scorer

Nassir Little wasn’t good at UNC. He’s probably the only lottery pick whom you can look at and say almost objectively that his team was worse with him on the floor.

We do know who’s on the team which is why most of us aren’t afraid to upgrade, or at least add significant talent, at the wing.
You need to come to grips with the idea that fit is not the only consideration when making a draft pick.

It could be, but I think I'd be in favor drafting Little. He was a big in high school that struggled as a wing on college. If and when he improves his outside shot, I think he will be a good one.Thrillkill wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 10:03 amRidiculous.UnFadeable21 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 9:44 am TimberWolves 11th Pick
