WOLVES PICKS
FIRST ROUND
No. 14 overall *
Shabazz Muhammad
Guard/forward, UCLA
Size: 6-6, 225 pounds.
The skinny: The lefthander, in his only season with the Bruins, led the team in scoring at 17.9 points per game, taking first-team All-Pac-12 Conference honors in the process. Muhammad loves to get out on the break and finish at the hoop. But he is not efficient and needs work on his dribbling and defense.
Quote: "I definitely have a chip on my shoulder," Shabazz said.
No. 21 overall *
Gorgui Dieng
Center, Louisville
Size: 6-11, 245 pounds.
The skinny: Answers a need as a player who can protect the basket. The native of Senegal was named Big East defensive player of the year. Dieng's offensive game is still raw, given his relatively late introduction to the game.
