    Anyone have a summary? It’s paywalled.

    Quick Summary Points:

    – the 2nd round picks from the DLo trade helped Connelly be able to be aggressive and get Miller.

    – Miller ranked 13th on vecenie draft board

    – Similar profile to Josh Minott, similar nose for the ball as Vanderbilt

    – Very skilled finisher, needs to work on his 3 ball

    – Trading future 2nds allowed the wolves to also select Clark, the “best perimeter defender in the draft”

    – wolves were in trade talks all week.

    – Top 5 was unattainable due to not shopping Towns, not certain if they would have been attainable even if they had been shopping Towns

    – Wolves might have been able to make a deal on Taurean, but opted to keep him

    – lots of calls from other front offices on Jaden McDaniels on draft night, all were swiftly rebuffed

    – All signs point to running it back

    – lots of the team has been in town together so far this summer

    In watching Millers highlights and reading his measurables, he looks very much like a Naz Reid possible replacement. They could obviously co-exist. It’s nice to have a fallback plan if Naz should go
