Have your pick of any of the other pg at least at 3.

Fair point. I'd love to have the option between Garland/White.

I would be happy with Brandon Clarke. Gibson is gone. Clarke at PF give us 3 defensive studs playing next to Okogie and Covington.

White doesn't really do it for me. He may turn out great but just watching clips, I'm not a huge fan.

I do think Garland could be a real stud. His handle and shot making ability are elite.

i think we should prepare to take the best big we can in round one (my preference is clarke) because it's a long shot either white or garland will fall to ten. maybe we'll be surprised and, if so, great. then there'd be plenty of decent bigs to take in the 2nd. but right now, i'm kind of penciling in clarke in the first, BPA in the second and looking for PG help in free agency. (my least favorite recent mock had white, garland AND clarke all gone before ten. eek!)

Played the simulator 10 times and the Wolves won the lottery on the 10 try. Looks like we're picking 10th or 11th.

My universe would be blown if the Wolves were picking 1 or 2. I could no longer say it was fixed and everyone hates Minnesota.

I will give it a flat 0% that Clarke is gone when we pick. The kind of stuff that makes him great for us (defense, mature, solid, effort) are absolutely not the kind of things that GM's in front of us can afford to take. I also see the chance of a PG falling at close to 0%.

From there the question is this. What is it worth to trade down a little and take the chance that big man choice #1 is gone. Very likely the highest rated player or 2 available will be wings. Having a new POBO that understands value makes me hopeful. I wonder if he knows how slip a Mickey in an old man's drink.

My second attempt today I got #2 - about 4 more tries later got #1

Game changer if we get top 2!

One thing I've noticed, is that NY does not get the #1 pick nearly as often as you think they would. Zion will not be a Knick.

Best chance at landing 1st pick is still only 14%. Believe before it was 25% or something.

When did $1MM translate to million? Why two M's?
