There will be little drama come Thursday night when the Minnesota Timberwolves get ready to make the first pick in the NBA Draft.
The Timberwolves have told Karl-Anthony Towns that he will be their pick, according to ZagsBlog.com
“It’s done, he’s going to Minnesota. [Minnesota President and coach] Flip Saunders was big on Jahlil Okafor for a minute there and after Karl came in [on Saturday], he decided to work out for them. He only worked out for them and it’s a wrap. It’s a wrap. They just told him they’re going to take him No. 1.”
In just a little more than 21 minutes per game last year, Towns averaged 10.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game in his only season at Kentucky.
Towns will join the past two year’s No. 1 picks, Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett who were acquired from Cleveland in the Kevin Love trade.
But Bennett might not be around for long. Reports out of Minnesota have the Timberwolves trying to trade Bennett.
