Timberwolves' Draft and Trade Moves Set Them Up for Success.

The Minnesota Timberwolves selected 6-foot-4 guard Jaylen Clark out of UCLA with the 53rd pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. Clark is known for his defensive versatility and ability to defend one through four on a nightly basis. However, his offense will need some work, particularly his shooting. Clark suffered an Achilles injury in March 2023, but the Timberwolves are willing to be patient with his recovery and believe he has long-term potential.

Timberwolves' Aggressive Draft Night Nets Promising Rookie Class.

Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations Tim Connelly made an aggressive move to acquire Leonard Miller, a 6-foot-10 forward from G League Ignite, by trading two future second-round picks to the San Antonio Spurs for the 33rd overall pick. Miller was ranked No. 13 on The Athletic draft analyst Sam Vecenie’s big board and is a late bloomer with a solid handle and a good feel for passing in close quarters. The Wolves also selected UCLA guard Jaylen Clark with the 53rd pick, who is expected to be out at least another six months due to an Achilles injury. The Wolves rebuffed every offer for Jaden McDaniels, viewing him as a huge piece of the team’s long-term future.
