The Wolves say taking this kid was a no-brainer. MOST experts say he was the best pick in the draft.
Fans at Target Center last night seemed to agree.
Me? I figure he was the safe choice. If he doesn't work out, we can always say he was the consensus best pick available. He didn't have great numbers for the runner-up Wildcats this past season, but he was big and athletic on both ends of the court. And he had GOOD consistent numbers on a team that was balanced.
If you read the Boston Globe article I linked to a couple days ago, you'll see that most teams regret their first selection every year. NO ONE has a crystal ball. No one is very good at drafting. But sometimes you make a good pick.
It looks like we made the right choice. It helps that we already have some young players that were already looking pretty good already. AND fans are going to be buying more tickets this year. Now days that's all NBA franchises can hope for.
Will we be a winner from all this? That's still to be determined.
