16. Minnesota Timberwolves (from Chicago Bulls) – Justin Patton
After trading for Jimmy Butler earlier in the NBA Draft, there was really no wrong that the Minnesota Timberwolves could’ve done at No. 16. But adding Justin Patton is a really underrated move.
Patton isn’t the type of player that’s going to play big minutes from day 1, but he could develop under Karl-Anthoy Towns. Patton has a nice little jumper, has soft touch around the rim and has the potential to be really good on the block.
Again, Patton likely won’t play big minutes this season – especially not under Tom Thibodeau – but his potential is a nice gamble at 16.
Grade: B-
