The Timberwolves selected three players in the first round of Wednesday's NBA draft. Four more players who played high school basketball in Minnesota were drafted over the course of the two-round draft. Here is a glance at all seven players:
Timberwolves
No. 1 pick Anthony Edwards 6-5, SG, Georgia
• A physical load with the tools to be a special player. Edwards averaged 19.1 points as a Georgia freshman and stood out as the clear top choice to the Wolves even in a draft with no outside No. 1 consensus. He comes into a good situation. Now we'll see if he and the Wolves can make the most of it.
No. 23 pick Leandro Bolmaro 6-6, PG/SG, FC Barcelona
• A gifted playmaker, particularly for someone his size, but just a 30% shooter from three-point range. There's a good chance Bolmaro, 20, continues to expand his game overseas for at least another year before joining the Wolves.
No. 28 pick Jaden McDaniels 6-10, F, Washington
• This was a pick made based on potential instead of production. McDaniels showed up in the top 10 in some early mock drafts, but he struggled to make just 40.5% of his shots as a Washington freshman.
Minnesotans
No. 22 pick (to Denver) Zeke Nnaji, 6-11, PF/C, Arizona
