Favorite Wolves Bust You Thought Would Be Good

Post by Rusty Kuntz »

There's so many of them to pick from.. I'll say Loren Woods. I thought we struck gold with him in the second round, and thought he and KG were gonna be the next twin towers. :beer:

i also had a brief unrequited love affair with marlon maxey back in the day.

Not drafted, I’m usually very good And spot on draft picks but I thought Darko could succeed.

He had the size and skill set to be very good.

For me too. I thought he had all the offensive skills you could ask for. Honestly, I really wanted Sean May that year. I thought he’d give us the toughness we never had next to KG. But he went right before we got McCants.



So I was wrong about both!



I also thought Randy Foye would be pretty good (even though I was a Rudy Gay guy that year).

You mean when he was drafted by the Pistons or when Kahn traded for him?

At the time when we drafted them I thought Donyell Marshall and JR Rider were great picks. :oops:

But we traded Marshall for Googs, so that one kind of worked out

Wiggins. I thought he'd be the next Durant during the draft.

McCants skill wise was actually pretty damn good, but again, 10 cent head might be generous in Rashad's case.

Naw, he was a true 7 footer, could block shots, had a hook shot and passing ability. He had it all physically. He even put prime Blake Griffin on a poster and was abusing him in the post here in Minnesota.

Wasn’t a Wolves draft pick but I was absolutely convinced Michael Beasley would be a star when he was traded here. I was all in.

And had like 8 years of proof in the NBA that he wasn't worth a shit.


That was the easiest call in the history of Wolves Chat. Sorry you couldn't see it.
