Timberwolves Trade Down
This hypothetical scenario had to be at No. 1, because it includes the No. 1 pick, and it would shake up the draft in a massive way.
Minnesota should field offers for the No. 1 pick, but it remains to be seen if they’ll land the type of return they covet.
The Timberwolves need a star in return for this pick if they’re going to trade out of No. 1. The dream scenario for Minnesota would be Devin Booker from the Suns, but that seems very unlikely.
The Timberwolves will have ample options with this pick, as they’ve been mulling different scenarios since they won the lottery.
As the NBA Draft draws closer, Minnesota will be able to leverage offers against each other if the Timberwolves indeed hope to trade down.
