2018 NBA Mock Draft first round plus OKC Thunder picks

Although Huerter recently had surgery he’s only projected to miss two months. And, he’s precisely the type of player the Wolves need. He’s always been a consistent reliable shooter, but he blew up at the combine demonstrator just how pure his shot was.

"Adding to his playmaking and shooting prowess is his size which will aid his ability to line up versus smaller guards he’ll be matched up against. Once he adds size and if he continues to grow Huerter could be a player who could move into a starting rotation although he’ll likely be happy to start as a regular reserve rotation contributor."

Team needs:

The Wolves need to concentrate on the middle of their lineup and in particular bench depth. Moreover, they need to fin some solid, consistent perimeter shooters. And, they need to add more players capable of creating their own shot as well as for those on the floor. Then again, maybe I should just suggest a psychologist for Thibs, so they can convince him to use his reserves.

Free Agents:

• Nemanja Bjelica (RFA)
• Aaron Brooks (UFA)
