NBA Mock Draft 8.0: Pistons take a gamble; Magic find their cornerstone

19. Minnesota Timberwolves – Blake Wesley, G, Notre Dame

Even though the Minnesota Timberwolves took a tangible step forward as a franchise this season, their playoff run ended on somewhat of a sour note. Heading into the offseason, the Wolves need to get better and figure out their foundational pieces.

With their first-round pick, depth will be a priority. And in the event that the team trades D’Angelo Russell, Blake Wesley could provide some future depth.

20. San Antonio Spurs – Jeremy Sochan, F, Baylor

You absolutely know that the San Antonio Spurs are going to make a wise pick late here in the first round. One option for the team is to add depth to the backcourt. Jeremy Sochan could be a fit. He’s a versatile forward that has the potential to be a do-it-all big in the modern game.
