Nickeil Alexander-Walker has a high basketball IQ and is very athletic. He reminds me of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with shades of Corey Brewer: a long, lean body with plenty of spring in his jump and a very good teammate. The Timberwolves have used Alexander-Walker as a point guard. If he can’t find court time as a shooting guard due to Anthony Edwards having those minutes, I would play him as a wing because he plays big enough and is a willing glue guy on a roster. Alexander-Walker is a trade target for a team that can offer him more minutes because he looks buried on the depth chart in Minnesota.
