    Wolves take Joan Beringer at #17...

    LOL. Yeah, I actually forgot about that. Beringer probably has a 3 out of 10 chance of being a good basketball player, but if he hits, it would be homerun. My biggest concern is how much PT Clayton would actually get after we sign Ben Simmons to be our backup PG.

    Updated 2nd Round Mock per The Athletic

    You said you didn't have a problem with Belinger and it sounds like you do? If you're issue was that we should have added someone at #17 (or through trading up) to get someone instead of Belenger who could help now, I don't necessarily disagree. It was just highly unlikely that we would add a...

    Wolves take Joan Beringer at #17...

    Yeah, I get the second round. I just didn't really think they'd end up taking anyone here. I think they wanted to stash and I think they got the guy they wanted to stash. I realize he's redundant, but he's 18 years old. Who knows what we will have on our team in 3-4 years. For Garza, it feels...

    As TNT and the NBA come to an end, Stacy Sager, daughter of the late Craig Sager, reveals he collected every mic flag from his career ❤️

    I once saw Craig Sager eating by himself at JD Hoyts in one of his colorful suits. My girlfriend at the time said "there is like this old white pimp here with crazy shoes on" and I looked over and it was Craig Sager bellied up eating dinner. In a lot of ways, she was right. RIP Craig Sager!

    Updated 2nd Round Mock per The Athletic

    Everyone is trading to get out from under the second apron. Boston just dumped assets. We got a lot more back than most of the teams you're seeing make this move. Brad Stevens just talked about how impactful it is. It's more than a Pohlad-esque salary dump, it's a crippling penalty and not just...

    Updated 2nd Round Mock per The Athletic

    Fleming was going to help us contend with OKC next year because he might leap frog Minott and Miller? That's a crazy take. If we are going to try to legitimately compete with OKC next year, we'll find out with free agency/trade market. It will have nothing to do with what we did with the 31st...

    Updated 2nd Round Mock per The Athletic

    I'd guess they clearly wanted a a stash player. There is not a roster spot for another rookie. Even Fleming, would you rather have him or Minott or Miller? I hate when they just trade for cash, but I think, at most, we were going to come out with a stash prospect.

    Glen Taylor on Kahn, Joe Smith contract, firing Flip, and more

    I just read Glen Taylor made Maya Moore do his dishes.

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Timberwolves Off-Season Thread

    I liked Clayton and he would have been my choice here. That said, TSJ is seven years older Berenger. I don't know if we have a ton of minutes in the rotation for another young guard looking to get PT. Our staff does like Jaylen Clark, TSJ and Dillingham and with Ant and NAW able to play some...

    Wolves take Joan Beringer at #17...

    I liked those guys as well. I probably liked Sorber slightly more than Beringer, but I think Beringer might be the higher upside.

    Updated 2nd Round Mock per The Athletic

    I really hope it's Reynaud. He just seems like such a low ceiling guy - at a minimum we know he's a 7" who can score. He might be a poor man's hedge on Naz becoming too expensive. I know it's two french 7 footers, but they couldn't be more different. I'm not sure if I like Fleming much more...

    Updated 2nd Round Mock per The Athletic

    I think the first pick in the second is absolutely more valuable than the last pick in the first. It's not only for the contract flexibility but the teams get a breath to really sit and think about guys like Fleming/Theiro/etc.

    Wolves take Joan Beringer at #17...

    The pick makes sense. He is a high upside guy who seems to avoid the pitfalls of some of the 7" young guys who flopped. If you look at Justin Patton, he wasn't a good shot blocker in the Missouri Valley Conference. One other thing every team in the west needs to come to terms with is that...

    History Shows Pacers vs. Thunder May Draw Record-Low Ratings

    They'll be tough if they make the right decision and trade Chet and salaries and 3 1sts for Giannis.

    2027 QB Furian Inferrera has Flipped his Commitment from Boston College to Minnesota!

    No, Bishop Gorman is a real school. The name of the school is/was The Game Changers Academy.

    Minnesota HS All Quarter Century Team per SI

    I'm surprised no Ben Utecht and no AJ Barker. Barker has a ton of receiving records (or he's close) while at DeLaSalle and Ben Utecht was one of the better HS TEs out of MN and was one of the better players during Hastings late 90s/2000s run of athletes that may or may not have been chemically...

    Minnesota HS All Quarter Century Team per SI

    His HS team almost never threw the ball. I think I read that he never threw more than 100 passes in a season in HS. He has thrown fewer passes in his entire career (HS, college, and NFL) than Brady threw in last season in Tampa. He was a great athlete, but probably doesn't belong on any all...

    2027 QB Furian Inferrera has Flipped his Commitment from Boston College to Minnesota!

    He is one of those guys that has bounced around quite a bit. I believe he is from Vegas and transferred to Mater Dei and was offered from Pitt when he was like 13. He went to something called The Game Changers Sports Academy which is one of those fake schools for sports. Then he had like a full...

    Gabe Weaver Commits to Gophers!

    He didn't just go to Cornell, he took a boatload of women's studies programs and wrote the Penis Apologies, the companion piece to the Vagina Monologues. He's earned our respect.

    Ski-U-Max! Gopher Men's Basketball Adds Guard Duo to the Program - Maximus Gizzi (New Palestine, Ind.) and Max Lorenson (Eden Prairie, Minn.)

    Spaulding is the Gopherhole recruiting prognosticator. I haven't quite been able to reverse-engineer his methods, but he is hitting about 95% on knowing when local players are likely to end up at Wisconsin. He is especially accurate in his predictions from players from the southern suburbs.
