As the NBA playoffs rage on, the dust is settling on what was another underwhelming draft lottery for the Minnesota Timberwolves. They moved down a place from 10th to 11th, all while watching their Western Conference foes climb to higher grounds.
With a bunch of options on the table, it’s unclear whether freshly minted president of basketball operations Gersson Rosas will decide to keep the late-lottery selection. It will be his first major roster ruling, and it will be critical he nails it. In a draft that is widely renowned as a weak one, it will be especially endearing to the fans if he can hit a draft night home run.
