The 2019 Draft Highlighted the Art of Building Around a Modern NBA Big Man
NBA DraftNBA DraftChicago, Memphis, and Minnesota all found perfect complements to their ascendant frontcourt talents, but went about it in three different ways
By Jonathan Tjarks • 7 min
The most valuable type of big man in the modern NBA is a 7-footer with legitimate perimeter skills. There are still a few who can dominate out of the post, but the easiest way for centers to make life easier for their teammates on offense is to play at the 3-point line. Just look at what Brook Lopez did for the Bucks last season. The difference between Lopez and the next generation of great big men is that he changed his game halfway through his career to stay relevant. The best center prospects now come into the league with that ability. They are a new player archetype that teams are still figuring out how to build around. Three teams may have found answers to that question with the guys they took in this year’s draft:
- Wolves: Jarrett Culver (no. 6) with Karl-Anthony Towns
- Bulls: Coby White (no. 7) with Lauri Markkanen
- Grizzlies: Brandon Clarke (no. 21) with Jaren Jackson Jr.
Culver, White, and Clarke don’t have many similarities as players. None even play the same position. What they all have in c

Minnesota Timberwolves
Minnesota Timberwolves is an American basketball team that competes in the NBA.
Foundation
The birth of the franchise took place in 1987, when the NBA undertook an expansion in which a number of new franchises entered the league. However, they did not enter the league until 1989, in a new expansion in which the Minneapolis franchise itself and the Orlando Magic joined the league.
The franchise began its first season in the Metrodome, although in the second season they moved to their current stadium, the Target Center. The first few years were not easy, with poor results and no more than 30 wins in any of their first seven seasons. Despite this, the fans were always very loyal to the team, filling the pavilion game after game and even reaching the figure of 49551 spectators in a game in 1990 against Denver Nuggets, which is the fourth largest attendance in the history of the NBA.

In 1994 the franchise rejected a proposed move to New Orleans, and Glen Taylor bought the franchise. Kevin McHale was named the new General Manager and the dynamics of the franchise changed radically. The 1995 Draft arrived and the Timberwolves selected with the 5th pick what would become the best player in their history, Kevin G
