Go Spurs Go!!
After Milicic struggled to complete two workouts he had with the Pistons, Brown was eager to get Anthony into town so that they could evaluate his ability to guard and how he moved his feet during a workout. “Let’s bring Carmelo in; we brought Milicic in and you told me, guys, you’re gonna draft Carmelo anyway,” Brown said. “And then the rumor got out that we were going to draft Darko and then Carmelo’s agent called and said, ‘Let’s bring them both out together, and have them play against each other.’ And we never got that far.”
While Milicic wasn’t the right fit for the Pistons in the end, Brown doesn’t hold the decision against those who made it, including then general manager Joe Dumars. “It is what it is because the same people that drafted Darko were smart enough to trade for Ben Wallace,” he said. “Smart enough to draft Tayshaun Prince, smart enough to trade for Rip Hamilton, smart enough to trade for Chauncey Billups, smart enough to trade for and believe in Rasheed (Wallace). So you know, it is what it is

The second reason you heard for them passing was that Dell Curry informed the Wolves he did not want his son in Minnesota. Dell has confirmed this publicly several times over the years, so they were not wrong. The only problem with that theory is that Ricky Rubio’s camp made it pretty clear in the run-up that they would have much preferred to have him in New York rather than Minnesota as well, and the Wolves were so enamored with him that they just took him and held firm that he would eventually play here. Kahn did a very good job on that front, being patient and waiting two years for Rubio to come over, teaming with (assistant GM) Tony Ronzone to recruit him even after he was drafted, meet the family and assure them that Ricky would do well in Minnesota. They played it beautifully, which means they could have done the same thing with Steph, if they really believed he was a future star
Do-Over Week: The Wolves passed on Steph Curry… twice
The Timberwolves could have had Steph Curry in the 2009 NBA Draft. Instead they selected Ricky Rubio and Jonny Flynn. Ouch.

Man the wolves coulda got a PG in FA or just rocked with randy Foye as point but drafted clayface
Coulda had love in his 3rd year, and clayface in his 2nd when Rubio came over

At the time they needed a center so I could understand the logic.
Riley's first choice would have been Bosh had he not been taken by the Raptors
probably Greg oden
I saw games of his when he was healthy and feeling it and he was a monster
