The Timberwolves need a shooting guard in the worst way. These two are considered the best in this year's NBA draft, but the Wolves will have to move up from No. 9 to get one.
Victor Oladipo, junior, Indiana
Height: 6-4¼ Wingspan: 6-9¼ Age: 21
Stats: 13.6 ppg on 59.9 percent FG and 44.1 percent three-point shooting, 6.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.2 steals in 36 games and 28.4 minutes per game last season.
How high must Wolves trade up? Perhaps as high as No. 2 with Orlando. When asked on KFAN if he could trade Derrick Williams and picks Nos. 9 and 26 for No. 2, Wolves boss Flip Saunders said, "Probably not, to be realistic."
ESPN.com scouting report: Crazy athletic swingman, explosive leader, tough and physical player, excellent rebounder, tenacious defender, best motor in college basketball, improving jump shot, a bit undersized for his position, can be turnover prone.
Oladipo on Oladipo: "I'm 6-4 and a quarter. If you round that to the nearest tenth, that's 6-5."
Ben McLemore, freshman, Kansas
Height: 6-4 ¾ Wingspan: 6-7 ¾ Age: 20
