• NBA Draft: List of picks, trades
The Timberwolves entered the 2024 NBA Draft with the No. 27 and No. 37 overall picks.
No. 8 pick: Rob Dillingham
- DRAFT TRADE: Timberwolves acquire Dillingham from Spurs
From Hickory, N.C., Dillingham led the USA under-16 team to the 2021 FIBA Americas Championship in Mexico and was named MVP after posting 31 points, six boards, four assists and three steals in the finale against Argentina.
He skipped his senior year of high school to join the Cold Hearts of Overtime Elite and was an ESPN five-star recruit before joining Kentucky, though he originally committed to NC State. In his lone season at Kentucky, Dillingham was a reserve (he started only once) and averaged 15.2 points, 3.9 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 23.3 minutes per game. He was stellar from deep, connecting on 44.4% of his 4.5 3-point attempts per game.
At 6-foot-1, Dillingham has an elite offensive package that will translate to the NBA. He has a quick first step and can score at all three levels, like many other NBA guards who went to Kentucky. He will also find the open shooter but needs work as a playmaker to be considered a true point guard, as his shot selection and ball security can be spotty. — RotoWire. Go deeper.
No. 27 pick: Terrence Shannon Jr.
Shannon is at his best when he’s going downhill in transition. When defenders give him space, he’s more than capable of knocking down open looks off the dribble. At 6-foot-6, Shannon has the size and athleticism to guard multiple positions, and he has great defensive instincts, though he tends to take too many chances in the passing lanes.
Shannon is a gifted offensive player, and that should translate to the NBA, but he may need to refine his game before becoming a prominent player. At 23 years old, he’s older than most prospects in his class, but that doesn’t mean he can’t make strides over the next few years. Shannon is a couple of inches taller than guys like De’Aaron Fox and Vince Williams but may have just as much offensive upside as those players. — RotoWire. Go deeper.
No. 37 pick: Bobi Klintman
- DRAFT TRADE: Wolves trade Klintman to Pistons
No. 53 pick: Cam Spencer
No. 57 pick: Ulrich Chomche
