Slowly but surely, the NBA Draft is creeping closer. Finally, the November 18 date has been officially locked in by the league, but it still feels a world away. And since the Timberwolves struck gold in the draft lottery and walked away with the first overall pick, the days seem to drag out a little bit longer, as we wait to see what President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas will decide to do with the fat stack of draft capital he is sitting on.
Along with the first selection, that fat stack includes the pick conveyed from the Brooklyn Nets, slotted at 17, and the Timberwolves’ own second-rounder, the 33rd pick.
