Minnesota Timberwolves Needs: SG/SF, C Picks: 9, 26, 52 The Timberwolves possess two first round picks this year, including the 9th overall pick. Their most pressing and obvious need being somebody on the wing. They tried out Brandon Roy last year and it didn't work out. It's likely Andrei Kirilenko will exercise his option to come back, but he doesn't give them a go-to scorer on the wing. Ricky Rubio gives them a quality young point guard and Kevin Love is a talented power forward that can score inside or out, but they need to complement those two pieces with an outside scorer to fulfill the promise of this team. Nikola Pekovic filled the center position for them extremely well the past few seasons, but he is a free agent and if Minnesota wants to keep him it would most likely involve overpaying for his services. It's difficult enough to build a winning team in Minnesota (not exactly a premier free agent destination) without having to overpay to keep the talent you have in place. 今年有9與26順位的簽，AK很不錯但無法為側翼分擔攻擊重任，Rubio是個不錯的控衛， Love是個擁有才能的大前鋒，在裡外都能獲得分數，看來還算不錯，可他們的陣容卻還貧缺著二號位與外圍得分手去讓這支球隊更充滿展望，這是一部分問題，另一方面就是Peko的新合約，有很大可能會朝向overpay的方向行進著，加上這個地方一值都不是優質自由球員熱愛的所在，想要把他們拉攏過來，要賦予的合約高度相比之下也會來得更高。 With that said, it would make a lot of sense if Minnesota targeted Alex Len, Cody Zeller, Kelly Olynyk, or Steven Adams to fill the spot next to Kevin Love down low. Sure, the wing positions are arguably a bigger need for them, but it's also a need that would be much easier to fill late in the first round with pick 26. One other thing they may consider is a trade. With two first round picks and Derrick Williams they could potentially make some moves on or before draft night. I don't expect it to happen, but with teams at the top of the draft making it known that they are open to a trade, the Timberwolves could attempt to move up to select either Nerlens Noel or Ben McLemore to fill their needs. At 9, a scorer like CJ McCollum or Kentavious Caldwell Pope appear to be possibilities. Love的狀態，球隊會不會朝向選擇Alex Len、Cody Zeller、Kelly Olynyk 或Steven Adams，雖然側翼的需求程度是較缺乏的狀態，不過還是有個26的簽可以運用解決，另外也被人探討的一點就是球隊會不會透過交易方式去移動選秀順位，雖然看來發生機率不大，但誰知道呢? 像目標放在Noel或是McLemore身上的話，就只能透過交易來取得了。至於第9順位能取得什麼樣的得分好手，最可能的人選大概就是CJ McCollum 與Kentavious Caldwell Pope這兩位了。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 182.235.36.237
