The smoke was still thick as of Monday.
Holding the top pick in Wednesday’s NBA Draft, Minnesota has actually been acting like a professional organization when it comes to the art of misinformation. Out of character for them considering all the botched decisions made by the usually junior varsity ownership, but the Timberwolves are still poker-faced on what they will do with No. 1.
First it was James Wiseman. At least until rumors leaked that the 7-foot-1 big man wanted nothing to do with Timberwolves, feeling that Karl-Anthony Towns’ presence would block his ability to be a starter.
