As of right now, if the Wolves have 4 picks, I'd love to see them do something like: 1) Trade one of the 1sts, plus any 2nd's, plus players, including Miller if possible, to Charlotte for Gerald Wallace. 2) Draft Warren, if he comes out. Rondo-like ability/ceiling, though raw. Love his future potential. And that's what the Wolves need. More guys with star potential. 3) Draft Gerald Henderson. Gifted as hell, and can be a really great rotational player at the very least IMO. Athletic freak and can be a real weapon slashing to the basket, something the Wolves need more of. And, this will probably be controversial, but I honestly think with his athleticism and length that he might even be able to play some SF in the NBA. He's definitely undersized height-wise, but he has deceptive strength IMO and his vertical and length make up for a lot of that. Kobe/Jordan can play the 3 no problem, for instance. Henderson's shorter than those 2, but he's got a lot of the other athletic traits. I think he could pull it off in stretches at least. 4) Draft Thabeet. I still don't think he's great, but he's really the only true C in this draft and the Wolves still need one. Plus, he should be a good defender, and the Wolves need that as well. Could be a great complement on the team. The alternative to the above would be trading a pick for a real C with some talent, but that's usually tough to do. Good C's are tough to come by. Anyway, just some early thoughts on players that I'd like to see the Wolves target more than anything.
