Minnesota Timberwolves

Draft Picks: Kris Dunn No. 5

The 2019 NBA Champions continue to build toward their dynasty.

With back-to-back Rookies of the Year award winners in Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns, the Wolves and new coach Tom Thibodeau grabbed a hard-working, hard-nosed defender with good size in point guard Kris Dunn.

Thibodeau seems to be high on Dunn and putting the young talent around him will set him to succeed from game one. The rumors of obtaining Chicago guard Jimmy Butler didn’t result in anything, but Dunn is a beyond a good consolation prize.

Grade: A-
