6. Minnesota Timberwolves: Jonathan Isaac, SF, Florida State
Age: 19 (October 3, 1997)
Size: 6-foot-10, 210 pounds
On a scale of rebuilding to competing, the Timberwolves are closer to the latter. As such, taking a gamble on Isaac--who is considered the biggest project among the Top 10 prospects--may raise a few eyebrows.
Still, the idea of adding a player with arguably more upside than anyone not named Markelle or Lonzo to a core that already includes Karl-Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins and Zach LaVine is awfully enticing. Moreover, with all of those talented pieces already in place, Isaac will face less pressure early on, which could be key for his development. (Getty)
