I'm going to go through and lay out last night's two main draft acquisitions in a way that readers can try to grasp what Kahn's thinking was when the pick was made.

Here goes nothin':

Wesley Johnson, SF, Syracuse:

We passed on DMC. It's over. Having a slow, temperamental head case was not on Kahn's "to get" list. Instead we came away with a highly excitable and easily lovable player in Wes Johnson. He may never become the star the DMC has the chance to be -- especially in Sac-town -- but he fills a need and does it in a favorable manner.

Johnson is going to spread the court; better than what Evan Turner could probably do due to his high-tempo game-style. His shooting stroke is more admirable to that of Turner's as well because it extends beyond the three-point line and has consistency to it. His athleticism will grab some highlight plays and hopefully illuminate the faces of a once dim and dull Target Center audience. Johnson's athleticism will be one-of-a-kind in the open court and his high basketball i.q. helps when filling open lanes alongside Corey Brewer and Martell Webster. One thing people forget about when thinking of Wes is his uncanny rebounding ability. He's probably the best rebounding small forward in the draft -- except for perhaps Luke Harrangody, of course, but no one knows what position he can even play in the NBA. Better yet, Wes is a tremendous offensive rebounder, which will help Brewer, Webster and Flynn's confidence when hucking up shots from outside because they'll have Love, Jefferson, and Johnson cleaning up loose balls underneath. It's fairly apparent: It'll be hard to rebound against this team.

The unique friendship that Jonny Flynn and Johnson have will help right off the bat. Those two will enjoy playing together which throws the matter of chemistry out the window. But it's not just Jonny whom Wes can gel with; a team already full of high, mature and positive character players will welcome yet another one in Johnson in an attempt to find flow in what will hopefully be un-selfish team basketball next year. Johnson will never demand the basketball; he's too laid back to do so. He was hardly the first option at Syracuse because the team played to the hot hand and he seems to fil the role as a second or third scoring option for the Wolves next season.

Kahn didn't screw this up as much as the fans at the Wolves' Draft Party believe he did. Johnson is going to be a solid starter. We didn't come out of the draft with our franchise-saving superstar, but who did? Washington? Maybe Philly. But we obtained a small forward who projects to be a solidified starter in this league for many years. And his maturity says that he is NBA-ready and will step in and contribute to our struggling Wolves immediately.
