What mocks say about Wolves' pick

June 15, 2018 at 12:46AM

HoopsHype does a good job of aggregating NBA mock drafts by considering six top mocks.

The aggregate says Boise State guard Chandler Hutchison is the most likely pick for the Wolves at No. 20, even though not a single one of the six mocks has him pegged to go to the Wolves. A lot of mocks happen to have him going right around that spot.

Only one player shows up going to the Wolves in more than one mock: Ohio State's Keita Bates-Diop. Donte DiVincenzo (Villanova), Jacob Evans (Cincinnati), Troy Brown (Oregon) and Aaron Holiday (UCLA) all show up in one mock.

Will one (or two) of the mocks be correct, or will the aggregate prove to be right? Maybe none of them will. That's the challenge of the No. 20 pick. The generic answer: The Wolves most likely will take the guard still available that they feel has the best and most suitable skill set. But that's no fun, right?
