ORIGINAL: Karl Juhnke Henry Ellenson. God, no... I say it in jest...at least partially. Every year there's a polarizing player that has talent, but lots of weakness and anomalies and red flags, and people have him going all over the board. He's that guy this year. I think he'll be good, maybe in a Kevin Love sort of way... but understand I don't mean that as a huge complement because I never considered Love to be a complete player. Probably not a good fit here anyway. So hopefully nothing to worry about. It's a bit of a weird draft this year in that 1-10 or so is relatively wide open and could go many different ways. So it really depends who's there at 5. If I had to single out an endorsed player now I may say the guard from Providence. Oh my God, I was kidding (sort of) but now I found this: quote:
ESPN.com Insider Chad Ford: No. 5 to Minnesota. "Hield would be very tempting here for the Timberwolves. They could use more shooting, and Hield is instant offense. However, I keep hearing they are very high on Ellenson. He fits a need at the 4, has the ability to stretch the floor and looks like a great fit next to Karl-Anthony Towns. Also, he's three years younger than Hield. That matters to NBA folks. If he starts hitting 3s at a higher clip, he's going to be very, very good." Now I for sure don't want him if Chad Ford is picking him for us. I wonder if he knows what he's talking about though when he say's we're high on Ellenson. Maybe that was pre-Thibedeau.
