If I’m a Wolves fan this is the guy I am praying falls to my team at No. 5. By all accounts Dragan Bender is a top-3 talent in this draft, but if he slips past the Celtics and Suns, Minnesota could have their own potential steal on their hands. Bender is just 18-years old, but is 7-1, 225 pounds and looks to be the ideal pairing for future All-Star Karl Anthony-Towns in Minny. <p>Bender has played limited minutes for Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel so his raw numbers are underwhelming at 4.5 points and 2.6 rebounds per game. However, his lateral quickness, athleticism, shooting moxie and general feel for the game have scouts and executive drooling over his potential. <a href=. PF. Israel. Dragan Bender . 5. player. 86
