Five to consider at No. 5
The Wolves have the fifth overall pick in Thursday's NBA draft. Here are five players who could be available and might interest the team:
1. Kris Dunn, PG, 6-4, 205, Providence: Easily the top true point guard in the draft, will bring strong defensive skills to the NBA.
2. Jamal Murray, G, 6-5, 201, Kentucky: Wildcats' leading scorer (20 ppg) as a freshman, can play both guard positions and can stretch the floor with his three-point shooting.
3. Buddy Hield, SG, 6-4, 215, Oklahoma: He sure can shoot, attempting nearly nine three-pointers a game and shooting 45.7 percent from behind the arc.
4. Dragan Bender, PF, 7-1, 225, Croatia (above): A big man with advanced playmaking skills could made him a prototypical stretch-4.
5. Jaylen Brown, G/F, 6-7, 223, California: An elite athlete with a physical style and a 7-foot wingspan that should help teams on defense.
