MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -If the Minnesota Timberwolves didn’t have bad luck in the NBA draft, they wouldn’t have any luck at all.
Perhaps that’s why Wolves president David Kahn is downplaying the need to win the lottery this year. Kahn says if the Wolves fail again to improve their position in the annual drawing, fans should not hang their heads because the team could trade up before the June draft.
The Timberwolves have the second-best odds to get the No. 1 pick on Tuesday. The farthest they can fall would be No. 5. The best odds – at 31.85 percent – are that the team will fall to No. 4.
In 12 years in the lottery, the Timberwolves have never improved their position.
Kentucky point guard John Wall and Ohio State swingman Evan Turner are widely considered the two best prospects.
