Now that the dust has settled from what was a wild draft night, it’s time to start examining how the new pieces fit. Specifically, we’re interested in how Jarrett Culver, the 6th overall pick, is going to fit in Minnesota.
In case you need to get caught up, Gersson Rosas sent Dario Saric and the 11th overall pick (Cam Johnson) to Phoenix in exchange for the 6th overall pick (Jarrett Culver). Losing Saric hurts, leaving an obvious hole at the 4 on this roster, but the trade looks much better on Minnesota’s end than Phoenix’s given they reached for a guy who was projected to go towards the end of the first round and Saric was a season away from getting paid when perhaps they did not want to pay him.
