As the curtain fell on the 2024 NBA Draft, analysts wasted no time in dissecting which teams had emerged victorious from the two-night spectacle.
Amidst a flurry of opinions, one voice stood out — former NBA luminary Draymond Green, now a respected analyst, proclaimed the Minnesota Timberwolves as the draft’s ultimate winners.
In an exclusive interview with The Volume, Green elaborated on his choice, singling out the Timberwolves’ strategic selection of Rob Dillingham as their future point guard.
“The key to Minnesota’s triumph lies in their foresight,” Green opined. “They didn’t shy away from Dillingham’s potential fit concerns that plagued other top draft contenders. Instead, they secured a prolific scorer and are poised to tailor their system around his strengths.”

Dillingham, who boasted an impressive 15.2 points per game during his stint with the Kentucky Wildcats, demonstrated lethal accuracy from beyond the arc, further cementing Minnesota’s conviction in trading up from 27th to 8th place to secure him.
While expected to initially contribute off the bench, Dillingham holds the promise of evolving into a cornerstone player for the Timberwolves, marking a pivotal move in their quest for future NBA success.
