Projected to go:Β No. 7 overall to the Minnesota TimberwolvesΒ 

He said it:Β "We've been back and forth between (Jonathan) Isaac and Markkanen here for several mock drafts.

"Both are excellent fits for the Wolves, who are looking for a stretch-4. Isaac would offer more upside. Markkanen is more ready now and a more proven shooter.

"With Isaac off the board, this looks like Markkanen's spot."
