#1 Pick


ozzie

Recommended Posts

So now that the Wolves landed the #1 pick for the first time ever in what is called an excellent talent pool who do they take?  Towns or Okafor?  Towns is currently the overall better player but Okafor has such an upside and is a very polished inside scorer...So who do you think they should take and who do you think they will take?  I think they will go with Okafor.  Either way I am excited for the future of the Twolves!!!

I agree Okafor but truly I believe they will go with Towns. A lot of talent on that team and their future looks bright!

With the #1 pick this year, we will now have the 2013, 2014, and the 2015 #1 picks on our team. If we cant build onto that, this franchise is doomed.

 

I think Towns will fit what the team is trying to build, a young, athletic, defensive strong team. Okafor while he may be a little more polished on making shots under the basket, this isnt a real big asset in the NBA, his 2 foot jumpers will be contested a little more then in college.

We have some good young talent to develop, and I think that is what the team should focus on this offseason, getting coaches that can teach, and get the potential out of the young talent.

With Rubio, Shabazz, Wiggins, LaVine, Dieng, Brown, Bennett, and add in Towns (or whoever is the 2015 pick), we have some awesome talent, we just need some coaches to get that talent to shine in games.

 

If the team can stay healthy, and we get some good coaching, we could have a strong team for many years. I would like to see the Wolves dump Martin, and Pek, and let the young guys play. We have a lot of money tied up into these to often injured players, that take up our bench at the end of the season and force us to play with 8 guys. Rubio would be another that I would say should be on the trading block, if we can get something decent for him, we should get rid of him, but I would like to see what the Wolves shooting coaches can do with him since he is not playing in the Euro leagues this offseason.

 

This team has excitement written all over it, but being a MN team, it is descend for failure.

This will never happen but, get Okafor and trade everyone that they can except Wiggens to get Tyus Jones.  Rubio is mediocre in my eyes.  He's always hurt, can't shoot, turns to ball over too much and is slow, but he sure has some fancy passes.

Have to agree Rubio is hit and miss. And he defiantely has to work on his shooting. Have to agree on the passing freak doing that but misses a lot of other skills.

Leave it to the Wolves and screw up the first pick. I think they need Towns in the middle so they have some defensive presence. Pek would be good off the bench if he's on the team still, this might help him out getting less injured. I agree we should trade Rubio, hasn't done anything since being here, another point guard bust. Flip shouldn't be coaching, should be trying to get someone else that's more accomplished and there's a few names out there.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
