ESPNs grade for the Wolves draft



But they give the Lakers a B+ and DAL who had one pick at 51 a B- as well???? Make it make sense.

  1. There is a reason Tim C gets paid what he does he knows what he is doing. These people get paid to talk about it not make decisions

    didn’t we trade #37? Why is it showing as our pick, trade not finalized or something?

  3. GUNNERSAURASISGOD

    Sometimes I just wish some tragic shit happened to ESPN and it dissolved. we have to restart the way we cover sports.

    B-😂. Were we supposed to have the first pick lmfao? We addressed our needs with well thought of proven college stars that have upside.

  4. To be fair to the Lakers, Dalton Knecht was widely regarded as a top 10 pick who is ready to contribute immediately. He’s a great shooter who fits perfectly between LeBron and AD. That’s a great outcome for them picking at 17.

    Grabbing Bronny at 50-something to keep LeBron happy is a genuinely good move, too. That’s better value than should be expected of anyone drafted in the 50s.

  5. Who cares its espn. They think we took the pick at 37 which should tell you all you need to know

    This guy has an agenda against older prospects so we got doinked for Shannon’s age. This guy is way too analytics based.

    Espn is a joke we had an A draft at worst

  8. lol we had no flexibility, and turned it into a lightning quick creative scoring PG, and a 3 level wing scorer. This is ridiculous analysis from espn.

    I don’t understand draft grades, ‘winners’ and ‘losers’. I saw Indiana getting a low grade for ‘reaching’ for Nembhard, while the Wolves received a good grade for trading up for Wendell Moore. McDaniels’ pick was graded C-, while Wiseman’s was graded A. It’s like judging freshmen students’ success in life based on their choice of major. You don’t even know if they can graduate, let alone get a good job.

  10. “The kind of top-10 player unlikely to be available to the team any time soon otherwise.”

    Riveting analysis on the fit

    Wolves are creating the blueprint on how to acquire more talent with the constraints of the 2nd apron and are getting B-

    Analytics losers and capologists are so enamored with the Process bullshit of a billion bad draft picks and cap space used for nothing. TC is writing the book on how to build teams in the new cap era.

    Dude are you really complaining about a letter grade from some Jagoff who writes for espn. Lolol

  13. UsefulLuck2060

    Popped on the Russillo/Simmons podcast, first thing they talked about was the Dillingham pick, we gucci, dudes a beast

    The only thing Antonio brown has said that isn’t stupid AF is CTESPN lmfaooooo

  15. JakkSplatt

    I was thinking A- would be a low score for how we did 🤷

  16. OriginalFluff

    The guy who made the pick makes about 50x what the guy who wrote this article makes

    For a reason

  17. maple_wolves

    Fantastic news for us. Considering their expertise, it’s proof TC did a great job.

    The wolves could sign Kevin Durant for 20 bucks and a half eaten bag of gummy worms and ESPN would give it a B
