2016 NBA Mock Draft: How high can Marquese Chriss climb?

86. <p>The Timberwolves have one of the most promising young cores in the NBA, and with a top five pick in the draft, they have an opportunity to add another talented prospect into the fray. One of Minnesota’s biggest needs is outside shooting. Neither Ricky Rubio nor Andrew Wiggins are effective from beyond the arc, so finding some help for those two at the shooting guard spot should be a priority this offseason. The two players that stick out here are Kentucky’s Jamal Murray and Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield. While Hield is the better defender of the two, which may appeal to new head coach and president of basketball operations Tom Thibodeau, Murray has higher upside.</p> <p>The Wildcats’ guard is three years younger than Hield, and although he didn’t have as impressive an offensive season as the Naismith Trophy winner, he wasn’t far off. Murray averaged 22.7 points per 40 minutes while knocking down 40.8 percent of his 277 three-point attempts. He rated as the best freshman in the country on offense <a href=. SG. Kentucky.
