2009 NBA Draft: 3 moves teams wish they didn't make

#1: Minnesota Timberwolves (Twice)

2009 NBA Draft Pick 5: Ricky Rubio (PG)

2009 NBA Draft Pick 6: Johnny Flynn (PG)

2009 NBA Draft Pick 7: Stephen Curry (PG)

NBA MVP Press Conference

The shape of the NBA would have been completed different today if the Minnesota Timberwolves had rolled the dice on Steph Curry in one of the two chances they used to draft a point guard.

Two-time MVP, three-time NBA Champion and one of greatest shooters of all time - all these can be used to describe one of the three-point guards taken from pick 5 to pick 7. Unfortunately for the Timberwolves, it does not describe pick 5 or pick 6.

While Ricky Rubio has become a good starting-caliber point guard throughout his career, him and Johnny Flynn combined would not make up 50% of what Steph Curry has brought to the NBA and the Golden State Warriors.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have only made the playoffs once in the past decade while the Warriors have gone to the finals 5 times in the past 5 years, winning 3 of them, led by Steph Curry.

It would be impossible for those in the Timberwolves front office to not think about what it would have been like if they had just taken Curry with one of their two picks.
