原文出处：RealGM http://0rz.net/831pl Team Needs: A wingman, no pun intended, for KG and some help at the point guard position. Outlook: Was Minnesota’s season disappointing? Yes. Was it overly surprising? No, not entirely. Does their playoff drought have to last more than one season? Definitely not. The Wolves have talent in KG, Ricky Davis, Rashad McCants, and Marko Jaric – they just need one more piece to contend again in the Northwest Division. If Minnesota makes signing free-agent point guard Marcus Banks a priority than they shouldn’t be looking for a point guard in the draft. That would assure the Wolves intent on drafting a swingman to complement KG. Also, rumors that Minnesota might be shopping their 6th overall pick cannot be discounted. They could make draft night very exciting. Most Suitable Prospects: Rudy Gay – The way players have been sliding up and down draft boards over the past few weeks, all or none of these prospects could be available when David Stern calls on the Timberwolves for their sixth selection. Regardless, Gay is the most athletic of Minnesota’s options. Pairing him with KG could mean big things for the Wolves in the coming years. Adam Morrison – RealGM’s J.T. Magee has Morrison going to Minnesota in his latest mock draft, something I’d have to agree with – If he’s still available. Morrison would be a nice scoring option to take some of the heat off of Garnett, and Ricky Davis. A starting line-up including Davis, Morrison, and KG would make for an optimistic outlook on 2007. Marcus Williams – If Hawks’ GM Billy Knight stands by his word and doesn’t draft a point guard in this draft, Williams could become an option for the Wolves. They would benefit from his pass-first mentality and good court vision. Williams excelled at UCONN with teammates similar to what the Wolves have in Davis and KG. Best Case Scenario: Minnesota nabs Adam Morrison. A player that I think has no business falling to the sixth spot. After speaking this week with Mark Bartelstein, Adam’s agent, I got some insight into how hard he’s working, and on his plans to bulk up his frame. Worst Case Scenario: The Wolves select Marcus Williams and create a logjam at the point guard position. The Wolves already have Marko Jaric, Troy Hudson, Anthony Carter, and Marcus Banks on their current depth chart at point guard. If they hang onto Carter and Banks, whose contracts are up, that’ll give them as many as five point guards. Meanwhile they’ll stunt the growth of not only Williams, but Banks as well. --
