13. Minnesota Timberwolves – Kyle Anderson, UCLA
Pick made by Ben Beecken
Editor for the Minnesota Timberwolves FanSided Site, Dunking With Wolves
The Wolves are in a perpetual state of needing wings. Despite signing Chase Budinger, Kevin Martin, and Corey Brewer just last summer to multi-year deals, they don’t all fit the potentially new-look, Kevin Love-less roster.
Martin and Budinger are good players that fit former coach Rick Adelman‘s system, but the Wolves simply need bodies. Kyle Anderson’s length (6’ 8″) and college production will translate very well to the NBA. The Wolves will go about finding power forwards to fill the spot via trade, possibly even as pieces in exchange for Love himself.
