Actual stats: 18.7 mpg/12.0 ppg/0.7 apg/3.5 rpg/.502/.333/.681/21.40 PER/115 ortg/115 drtg/.125 WS/48
Per-36 stats: 23.1 ppg/6.8 apg/1.4 rpg

22 years old, could be a force on offense. Liability on D but with his length he has the ability to be a solid defender as he matures.

Would fill a positional need going forward and is a definite buy low candidate. Could certainly compete for our soon-to-be evacuated starting SF spot.

I know the Wolves were interested in Evan Turner this offseason. Would they consider Turner + 2016 CLE 1st for Muhammad?

You don't "get" high upside players on rookie contracts for anything other than all stars and top 10 picks


Great words from a great man

Yeah, I'm interested in him, too, but I don't think we have anything that Flip wants.  Besides, wouldn't he only serve to take even more playing time away from James Young?  I get your interest, though.  I'm surprised that no one had made a thread like this yet, quite honestly.

Muhammad is playing on their bench. Wiggins could easily play SG next to him if they chose to do so but they've gone with Zach LaVine instead.

I'm willing to go higher. I'd put Clippers pick, the Philly picks, Avery Bradley, or future firsts of our own past 2016 on the table in addition to what I initially proposed.

I think Turner and the Philly seconds would get it done.

There were reports that the Wolves liked Evan Turner over the summer. Also, I consider Young a SG and I think the C's do too. He can play SF just as Smart can play SG, but I prefer Young at SG (like I prefer Smart at PG).

I agree, his name has been floated but never as the primary topic of a thread. I think he has serious offensive potential.

Maybe we should ask Santa. ;D  I wouldn't give up a pick for him, though.

Celtic Santa will totally pull through.

Hmm, did he get that outfit from a Celtic Woman (sarcasm)? ;D  Why is that crap always on PBS?  Ugh.
