The Minnesota Timberwolves have the most picks (5) in the NBA Draft tomorrow night. The T-Wolves hold the #4, #16, #23, #45 and #56 picks heading into tomorrow night’s draft. The Timberwolves appear ready to wheel and deal and they have some players other teams covet. Al Jefferson or Kevin Love could be on the move tomorrow night. Rumors abound that the Pacers are after Jonny Flynn and the T-Wolves would likely consider trading Corey Brewer and the #23 pick to the Raptors for the #13 pick and Hedo Turkoglu. That trade would only likely happen if the Nets surprise everyone and take small forward Wesley Johnson out of Syracuse who is the player the T-Wolves most covet. Make sure to tune in tomorrow night and watch the T-Wolves get better right in front of your eyes.

Rookie point guard Jonny Flynn is off to a good start for the Minnesota Timberwolves this year. He has played in 8 games (all starts) for the T-Wolves this season and he is averaging 28.4 minutes, 15.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Flynn has a huge upside and the Timberwolves will give him the playing time to get to his full potential quicker.

The Timberwolves selected 21-year old power forward Henk Norel with their final pick of the NBA Draft. Norel played in 23 games in his three years in Spain and he averaged 5.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. Norel appears to be a project so don’t look for him to play big minutes as a rookie in 2009-2010.

The Timberwolves needed a shooting guard after trading Mike Miller and Randy Foye to the Wizards and they got one in Wayne Ellington. The 21-year old Ellington played in 115 games in three seasons with North Carolina and he averaged 14.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. Ellington is a solid shooter and he could get big time minutes as a rookie for the Timberwolves.

Many experts think the Timberwolves reached in taking Jonny Flynn with the 6th pick in the NBA Draft but I don’t agree with them. Flynn is a legit point guard who makes everyone on his team better. The 20-year old Flynn played in 73 games in two seasons at Syracuse and he averaged 16.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Flynn is a dynamic player despite his size (6′0″, 185) as he’s a good shooter, penetrator and passer. This was a excellent pick by the Timberwolves unlike the earlier pick of Ricky Rubio.
