Minnesota Timberwolves: Will the Wolves draft the best player available?

It's the age-old question: should teams draft for positional need or target the best player available on the draft board? Needless to say, the Minnesota Timberwolves have a big decision to make in the 2020 draft.

Not many teams that finish the previous season with .297 winning percentage would deviate from the "best player available" model. After all, by definition, teams picking near the top of the draft are devoid of NBA-caliber talent, and more talent is better, regardless of position.

The Wolves might still fall into that category, but they also only got 35 games out of their best player and only one game with their best two players playing together.
