2020 NBA Mock Draft 10.0: Final projections before Nov. 18 draft https://reurl.cc/Q3o430 01 Minnesota Timberwolves: LaMelo Ball, G, Illawarra Hawks Stats: 12 G, 31.2 mpg | 17 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 6.8 apg, 1.7 spg | 37.7% FG, 25% 3P, 72.3% FT Measurements: 6-7, 181 lbs Ball’s feel for the game is unteachable, his combination of handle and passing creativity at his size transcendent, and his red flags -- mainly, shot quality and defensive engagement -- are mostly coachable. He’s the highest-upside prospect available, and in this class, that’s all you can ask for. Is he a tidy fit with the Timberwolves’ current core of D’Angelo Russell and Karl-Anthony Towns? Not particularly. He and Russell both profile as ball-dominant lead guards, and defense might be considered optional for the trio. But the offensive intrigue is undeniable and from Minnesota’s position, talent should trump all. There is also, of course, the possibility the Timberwolves view Anthony Edwards as being a tidier fit and having greater star potential. Or they could move the pick. On the latest Bulls Talk Podcast, Minnesota Star Tribune Timberwolves writer Chris Hine predicted Edwards at No. 1. Such are the questions that will need answering when the clock strikes 6:30 p.m. CT on Wednesday. But standing pat and exiting the draft with Ball would be a solid outcome for the rebuilding Wolves. - The Ringer’s 2020 NBA Draft Guide. 11.17 https://reurl.cc/d5o7Gk ANTHONY EDWARDS Guard, Georgia, freshman Bruising scorer who can create space with his dribble and make tough shots from all over the court, but his decision-making leaves much to be desired. SHADES OF: Victor Oladipo, Eric Gordon, Dion Waiters PLUSE Powerful driving to the rim; when he initiates contact, defenders bounce off him. Finishes with athleticism and displays soft touch with either hand. Dynamic shot-maker off the dribble; he fluidly transitions from complex dribbles, spins, and hesitations into pull-ups, stepbacks, and side steps. A freight train in transition; though his shot selection was iffy at Georgia, wide-open spacing in the NBA could lead to far more shots at the rim. Solid passer. Doesn’t possess elite court vision, and tends to react rather than create opportunities for teammates, but he can execute basic reads to shooters and cutters. Potentially a super-versatile defender thanks to his rare blend of size, strength, and agility. MINUSES Not a pure shooter; he settles for jumpers even against mismatches, which is especially frustrating for a player with his size and strength. Best suited to be in a multiple-ball-handler system next to a pass-first player because of his underwhelming playmaking instincts. Inconsistent effort. At times he plays hard by cutting, running up the floor, and crashing the boards. But then he’ll disappear—teams will need to do extensive background to gauge his mentality. Despite his athleticism, he struggles as an off-ball defender, lacking focus and often losing track of his man. Fundamentals and effort must improve while defending on-ball; lockdown flashes are mired by far too many moments of apathy. - 2020 Extended NBA Mock Draft: 4.0 https://reurl.cc/N6o27m 1. Minnesota Timberwolves James Wiseman Wiseman’s season was cut short first by the NCAA and then by Wiseman himself who followed advice that he was a sure fire top 5 pick (or close), and opted to end his season early. While it would have been nice to see him compete and develop, following the injury to Charles Bassey and the fact that bigmen seem to be the most injury prone of any position, it is difficult to criticize the decision. particularly on the heels of the NCAA’s shenanigans. So much for teaching Wiseman a lesson. Wiseman showed surprising skill in the few games that he played, knocking down a few fadeaways and looking competent on the offensive end. But there is still skepticism about just how much offense he’ ll bring on a nightly basis at the next level. He developed a bit of a reputation in high school for not having a genuine passion and love for the game. Considering he played so few games at Memphis, that remains a question mark. He’s clearly a specimen type of bigman, drawing comparisons to Dwight Howard and DeAndre Jordan, and is clearly capable of being a difference maker on the defensive end at the next level. Why the Timberwolves take James Wiseman: We are projecting this pick to be traded to Charlotte. The pick is actively being shopped with Charlotte showing the most interest. Minnesota is said to, “have no interest in making the first pick”. The Hornets are enamored with Wiseman’s ability to be a rim protector as well as his freakish run/jump athleticism for a center. He has even showed some promise as a mid-range shooter, so it’s not as if he’s a stiff. He just happens to be entering the league in an era where most centers are diminished to being glorified role players, similar to running backs in the NFL. The big question for Wiseman is how well he can defend the perimeter and whether he will be a match up problem in today’s NBA and be relegated to the bench along with 90% of true centers in close playoff games. Wiseman surely would benefit from landing in a nurturing environment.
