Over the next month or so, I will be a writing a series of articles exploring the depth charts of NBA teams, and more specifically, where the rookies from the 2011 draft fit into those depth charts. Thanks to MTD for the idea. We've already taken a look at the Cleveland Cavaliers and Minnesota Timberwolves, so next up is the Utah Jazz who held both the third and twelfth selections in the 2011 draft.
This time I am taking a look at the depth chart of the team that picked second this year: the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is probably going to be one of the more difficult situations to sort out, when you throw in the #5 pick from 2009 Ricky Rubio making his NBA debut, a likely coaching change, and an absolute mess of a roster.

The news of the NBA lockout became official when the clock hit midnight, unfortunately, leaving a lot of questions unanswered. After looking at how the lockout would affect the D-League on Thursday, the next question relevant to this site is what the lockout means to those players picked up in the 2011 NBA Draft.

The Orlando Magic announced that they waived forward Stanley Robinson after the Magic's 25-point preseason victory over the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday evening. Orlando's roster now stands at 14 players, one below the league maximum, with Malik Allen the lone remaining player without a guaranteed contract.
Sean Williams, the troubled former first-round pick of the New Jersey Nets, is attending a tryout with the Dallas Mavericks.
The Phoenix Suns defeated the Golden State Warriors 92-87 in NBA preseason action Thursday night and then released Dwayne Jones and Zabian Dowdell, likely meaning Garret Siler and Matt Janning have both made the Suns regular season roster.
The Dallas Mavericks have signed former Minnesota Timberwolves lottery pick Rashad McCants to a non-guaranteed contract for the rest of the preseason. There is a far better chance McCants winds up playing for the Mavericks' D-League affiliate (Texas Legends) in nearby Frisco than with the parent club, however.
