Minnesota Timberwolves Mock Draft, 27th Overall Pick: Jaylon Tyson (Cal)

Jaylon Tyson, a talented wing from the University of California, Berkeley, is an excellent choice for the Timberwolves at the 27th overall pick. Standing at 6’7″ and weighing 210 pounds, Tyson is a versatile player with a strong defensive presence and the ability to score from all three levels. His length and athleticism make him a valuable asset on both ends of the floor. Tyson’s potential to develop into a reliable 3-and-D player makes him an attractive option for the Timberwolves, who are looking to add depth and versatility to their roster.

Minnesota Timberwolves Mock Draft, Other Options at 27th Overall:

  1. Terrence Shannon (Illinois): A 6’6″ wing with a strong offensive game, Shannon’s ability to create his own shot and score in bunches would be a welcome addition to the Timberwolves’ lineup.
  2. Bobi Klintman : A 6’10” forward with a unique skill set, Klintman’s ability to handle the ball and shoot from the perimeter would provide the Timberwolves with a versatile frontcourt option.
  3. Baylor Scheierman (Creighton): A 6’7″ wing with a high basketball IQ, Scheierman’s ability to shoot from deep and make plays for his teammates would be a valuable asset for the Timberwolves.
  4. Justin Edwards (Kentucky): A 6’7″ wing with elite athleticism and defensive potential, Edwards would provide the Timberwolves with a high-upside player who could develop into a lockdown defender.

Minnesota Timberwolves Mock Draft, 37th Overall Pick: Alex Karaban (Connecticut)

Alex Karaban, a 6’8″ forward from the University of Connecticut, is a solid choice for the Timberwolves at the 37th overall pick. Karaban is a skilled shooter with a high basketball IQ, making him a valuable floor-spacer and secondary playmaker. His size and versatility allow him to play both forward positions, giving the Timberwolves added flexibility in their lineups. Karaban’s potential to develop into a reliable role player makes him an intriguing option for Minnesota.

Minnesota Timberwolves Mock Draft, Other Options at 37th Overall:

  1. Harrison Ingram (UNC): A 6’8″ wing with a well-rounded offensive game, Ingram’s ability to score, rebound, and facilitate would be a valuable addition to the Timberwolves’ bench.
  2. Ryan Dunn (Virginia): A 6’8″ forward with elite defensive potential, Dunn’s ability to guard multiple positions and protect the rim would provide the Timberwolves with a valuable defensive presence off the bench.
  3. Kevin McCullar Jr. (Kansas): A 6’6″ wing with a strong defensive game and the ability to score in a variety of ways, McCullar’s versatility and experience would make him a solid addition to the Timberwolves’ bench.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have a unique opportunity to add depth and versatility to their roster with the 27th and 37th overall picks in the 2024 NBA Draft. By selecting Jaylon Tyson at 27th and Alex Karaban at 37th, the Timberwolves would be adding two talented wings with the potential to develop into valuable role players. However, they also have several other intriguing options to consider, including Terrence Shannon, Bobi Klintman, Baylot Scheierman, Justin Edwards, Harrison Ingram, Ryan Dunn, and Kevin McCullar Jr. As the draft approaches, the Timberwolves will need to carefully evaluate their options and make the best decisions for their future success.
