The Minnesota Timberwolves have a star big man and a star point guard, but they’re lacking on the wing. Patrick Williams could be the answer.

So many of the prospects likely to be taken early in the 2020 NBA Draft are redundant with current Minnesota Timberwolves stars Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell.

LaMelo Ball has many similarities to Russell and doesn’t shoot well enough to truly play off the ball immediately as a rookie. James Wiseman is a 7-footer that can’t yet stretch the floor and would be a tenuous fit next to Towns.
