Minnesota Timberwolves: A-
The Wolves draft was all over the map. They made a ton of deals. They ended
up with Derrick Williams, a future first rounder, Brad Miller, cash for
Houston's second-rounder, cash for Bojan Bogdanovic, Malcolm Lee, and some
guy from Qatar.
I'd say the Wolves came out pretty good in my completely biased opinion. I
wrote this piece yesterday to explain exactly why the Wolves need to draft
and keep Derrick Williams, and they might actually do it.
To think they got all the rest of those assets with just Jonny Flynn, and the
No. 20 pick I'd say they did well. It could have been better, but they got a
lot of nice pieces.

Minnesota Timberwolves: Derrick Williams. Grade: B. Williams was the best
player on the board and a no-brainer, although you always have to wonder when
the Timberwolves are on the clock. His fit on Minnesota's roster isn't
perfect, but it's not terrible, especially if David Kahn can find a way to
ship out Michael Beasley for future assets. Malcolm Lee might be the wing
defender they need.

Minnesota Timberwolves
A-
Despite all the speculation that Kanter could go #2, the Timberwolves opted
for the best available player in Derrick Williams. They already have a
similar player in Beasley, but Williams shoots much more efficiently from the
field and is a player you can win with. If Kahn has the opportunity to move
Beasley for a quality veteran then I'm sure he'll pull the trigger. Brad
Miller was picked up in a flurry of T-Wolves trades on Thursday, but it'll
take a lot more than him to make the team respectable again. Kahn also
maneuvered his way to Malcolm Lee at 43, who can offer the team a good
defender, but little else at this point. They moved the 20th pick in a deal
that ridded themselves of draft mistake Jonny Flynn, but should have held
onto that pick and kept Motiejunas.

Minnesota Timberwolves A+
Williams could wind up being the best player in this draft, and the
Timberwolves simply couldn't pass him up even with the roster concerns. Yes,
his game draws parallels to incumbent forward Michael Beasley, but he played
well enough last season that he could bring back decent value if they decide
to move him now. Derrick Williams was the No.2 pick, and much-maligned GM
David Kahn got it right.
The Wolves might wind up looking good for their second-round selections, too,
as Malcolm Lee (No. 43 via Chicago) was seriously considered by some teams in
the late first round.

Ball Don’t Lie’s 2011 NBA draft grades
Minnesota Timberwolves
Additions: Derrick Williams, Malcolm Lee, Targuy Ngombo
Grade: A
On paper, it doesn't look like much. And I'm not going to tell you that
Minnesota owned the draft, even though Minnesota jokes owned the third straight draft.
The Wolves didn't go for Monta Ellis. They didn't go for Andre
Iguodala(notes), and they didn't jump at some other vet making eight figures
just for the sake of a splash. They also didn't stay home with the second
pick and draft some team-changing talent in Williams. He's a nice player, a
potential borderline All-Star, and someone who plays the same position as
half of his new teammates.
What Minnesota did do was do the best it could, considering its options.
Which, for David Kahn or even any other GM, is an incredible achievement. The
team was constantly moving, trading down and acquiring future picks and
expiring contracts and cash along the way to help this small market team eat
the final two years of Kurt Rambis' contract, while admitting that though
2011 was its last chance to make a draft splash (Minny won't have its 2012
first-rounder), while not freaking out over the fact that the 2011 draft kind
of blew chunks.
This was the best possible draft for this franchise. It may not boast the
sort of showy allure as something Portland may have done under Kevin
Pritchard's tenure, and nobody acquired an All-Star, but this was a good
night out.
