Ben Beecken deep-dives on Leandro Bolmaro and Jaden McDaniels as prospects. Plus, why the addition of Ed Davis makes a ton of sense for the Wolves.

Wolves pick Anthony Edwards, Ricky Rubio is back, and more...
The Minnesota Timberwolves had an eventful draft night, to say the least. After taking Anthony Edwards at No. 1, the Wolves traded No. 17 for Ricky Rubio and a pair of first-rounders. Ben Beecken talks about the Edwards pick, Rubio's return, and the value the Wolves received back in trades, including taking Washington's Jaden McDaniels at No. 28.

Customer Reviews
Podcast
The show has definitely improved with Beecken as host. One technical note... the pre-recorded advertisements are much higher in volume than the general program, making them jarring and annoyingly loud when they come on. A compression filter across the whole show might help that, or a limiter. And in general the host mic is a little lower in volume than is ideal so bringing that up in volume would help as well. Overall, thanks for the consistent content output and all your efforts.
Great daily Timberwolves coverage
Ben does a very nice job breaking down all things Timberwolves. Well researched insight and an enjoyable way to get my fix of the hometown squad.
Balanced and Insightful
I have really come to enjoy this podcast; it is one of my all time favorite sports podcasts. I initially only downloaded periodically, but over time found myself downloading episodes more frequently until finally I realized I should just subscribe and get all of them. Unlike a lot of sports podcasts, there isn’t any ranting and raving. No whining when things aren’t going well and no talking as if things are fabulous because a couple positive things happen. Just good insightful discussion on why things are as they are, and where things are headed.
