Welcome back to Far-Fetched Friday, where every Friday we give you a bold prediction that we believe will come to fruition. This Friday is a look into Minnesota and the very fortunate lottery results.
Despite having the third-worst record in the NBA, the Timberwolves have more talent than most of the other lottery teams. With Karl-Anthony Towns, D'Angelo Russell, and Malik Beasley, Minnesota will have enough offensive firepower to hang with just about any team in the league. Throw in someone like Anthony Edwards or LaMelo Ball, and the offense would be lethal.
There's also the possibility that the Wolves decide to trade away their pick to land a high-impact player that will be able to help them more immediately. Someone like John Collins would make sense in that scenario, as he would fit well alongside Towns. A major factor in the Timberwolves' ascension will depend on the on-court chemistry between Russell and Towns, as they have the offensive potential to be one of the best guard-big duos in recent memory.
