As I prepare for bed I know I'll have a hard time sleeping. Will the Wolves move up to get Turner? Will they stand pat and get Wes Johnson, Derrick Favors, or DeMarcus Cousins? It seems 100% certain to be one of those 4.
Almost all mocks lately have us selecting between Favors and Cousins and it seems nobody knows for sure. I've got a gut feeling the Wolves select Cousins and probably for good reason. I'd say his ceiling is above Favors in terms of complete domination at the center position and perennial all-star appearances.
But I'm leaning personally towards Favors. Perhaps it wont matter too much and they'll both be equally great (or, hopefully not, equally bad). Perhaps its more of a Okafor/Howard decision and you know Orlando is happy to have Dwight.
It seems to be the ultimate test of Kahn and his staff. Making the wrong decision sets the Wolves back while the right one paves the way for Rubio and a bright future.
I'm gambling that even in failure Favors is the better defender and athlete that could thrive in the up-tempo offense we intend to run. But just because Cousins is overweight doesn't mean he can't play up-tempo. He did so just fine at Kentucky last year.
In summary it could go either way and I know that's what's going to keep me up tonight.
But for the record: "I prefer Favors."
