With the No. 20 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves selected Lithuanian big man Donatas Motiejunas.

Motiejunas is a stretch power forward, a deft shooter who doesn’t rebound well and has plenty of work to do on the defensive end. It’s unclear whether Minnesota -- loaded at power forward with Kevin Love and No. 2 pick Derrick Williams, and nominal small forward Michael Beasley -- will keep Motiejunas or hope he stokes his value in Europe in preparation of a trade.
