Big Day For Wolves Draft Prospects

Holding Miami's pick this year (#18) the Timberwolves must have been happy today to hear that Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Stephon Curry are bound for the NBA draft.


All three guys are rumored to get picked before #18 -- http://www.nbadraft.net/2009mock_draft but at the very least, their presence in the draft will force someone down closer to the Wolves pick at #18.

Here is one thing I cannot figure out about nbadraft.net -- why in the hell would they have Minnesota selecting Patrick Patterson (PF, 6'8") at #18? We have 4 undersized power forwards (Al, Love, Smith, Gomes) and two guys who could fill that role in a pinch (Cardinal, Madsen). So we have 6 undersized power forwards on the roster. Why in the hell would we pick Patrick Patterson?

The addition of these three guys to the draft also indicates to me that I may win my "Tyler Hansbrough will be picked #29 or later" bet with RKG!!!!!!!
