It is the NBA Draft. Minnesota Timberwolves won the NBA Draft. Who are they picking? Are they picking a centre?

Here's the Top 10 players for the NBA Draft:

3. D'Angelo Russell - PG, Ohio
4. Emmanuel Mudiay - PG, Dallas Tx/China
5. Justise Winslow - SF, Duke
6. Kristaps Porzingis - PF, Latvia
7. Mario Hezonja - SG, Croatia
8. Frank Kaminsky III - C, Wisconsin
9. Devin Booker - SG, Kentucky
10. Willie Cauley-Stein - C, Kentucky

Draft in order : 1. Timberwolves, 2. Lakers, 3. 76ers, 4. Knicks.

[OzSome]

Minnesota selected first pick overall Karl-Anthony Towns, centre from University of Kentucky. A 6'11" freshmen.

[OzSome]

#2 Los Angeles Lakers selected PG D'Angelo Russell from Ohio State.

Wow! I thought they would pick Okafor.

[drew24]

Oooof. Heartbreaker for the Knicks.

76ers take Okafor

[OzSome]

Philadelphia 76ers selected C Jahlil Okafor from Duke.

next up 4. Knicks
5 Magic, 6. Kings, 7 Nuggets, 8 Pistons, 9 Hornets, 10 Heat.

[OzSome]

New York Knicks selected 7'2" PF Kristaps Porzingis from Latvia. Of course Knicks fans booed the pick again :)

[OzSome]

Orlando Magic picked SG Mario Hezonja from Croatia.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Knicks fans reaction to their pick was pretty hilarious. Porzingis is ridiculously thin right now.

Wish the Raps move up to take Winslow.

Edit - Heat take him at 10

[dammage79]

Thank god for the NBA draft. Relieving some of this built up anticipation for the NHL draft tomorrow. Who do the Raps take? Some weird out of nowhere kid?

[dammage79]

A Saskatoon kid? To Utah? Crazy!

Raptors trade Vasquez to the Bucks for a 2017 1st and pick 46.

Raptors trade Vasquez to the Bucks for a 2017 1st and pick 46.


According to the score, to Bucks for future 1st and number 46. I have no problem with this. Vazquez really wasn't good this year. I didn't see him rebounding next year so it's decent value.

[Senator Clay Davis]

That's a pretty nice trade for Vasquez, Masai working his magic again. Come on Dekker or Hunter fall to 20.

[OzSome]

Damn, not a lot of centre left for the Raptors. They definitely a big man in the lineup to split time with JV.

[Da_Chief]

Another forward is a bigger need. Terence Ross blows. He needs to be replaced.

[OzSome]

I have seen Sam Dekker played for Wisconsin this past season. Him and Kaminski were pretty good. I don't mind the Raptors picking him if he is still available as #20.

[OzSome]

Sucks!! Dekker is gone. Picked #18 by Houston Rockets.

[Senator Clay Davis]

It's Masai, he'll probably take someone waaaay off the board.

[OzSome]

Raptors is on the clock. Portis?

[Da_Chief]

Raptors take Delon Wright PG out of Utah.

[OzSome]

Raptors picked 6'5" PG Delon Wright. Hmmm.. tall guy for a PG. I guess I don't mind it since Lowry been hurt a lot last season.

[Senator Clay Davis]

A defensive point guard in Delon Wright. It's Masai, I'll choose to believe he knows what he's doing.

[dammage79]

Looks like a great pick on paper. D specialist and a great passer?

[drew24]

Not crazy about passing on Portis. The book on Masai is that he drafts for potential. Doesn't feel like that here.

With Wright I can't remember if he was a 2nd team AA or not, but he played at that level and was in the conversation for first team all year.

Lawson seems happy that Mudiay dropped to Denver

"Sweet double post Res"
-thanks bro.

[Senator Clay Davis]

The Spurs took an international player. Related: Water = wet.

[OzSome]

With their 46th pick Milwaukee picked SG Norman Powell of UCLA. Powell is headed to Toronto Raptor as part of Gervais Vasquez trade earlier.
