Wall or Turner with No. 1 pick?
What should the Minnesota Timberwolves do if they land the NBA Draft’s No.1 overall pick? Ethan McVansen of Bleacher Report offers his opinion on the possibility.
Despite an abundance of point guards on the roster, including two drafted last year (Ricky Rubio is still in Spain, though) and free agent Ramon Sessions added as well, McVansen is convinced that the team must draft John Wall, widely considered the best talent available. The former Kentucky Wildcat who led the team to the Elite 8 and earned SEC Player of the Year and All-American honors as a freshman is an explosive athlete who is nearly unguardable off the dribble.
Still, with Evan Turner seemingly a better fit for the current roster, it at least gives Minnesota something to think about. The Ohio State star can play three positions, and his versatility is unmatched.
With Rubio appearing more and more unlikely to ever don a Timberwolves jersey, Wall is the way to go. But drafting him will certainly bring upon more criticism of the franchise. Not for picking him, but for the admission that it screwed up big-time in 2009 that the move will stand for.
