The Minnesota Timberwolves had the No. 1 overall selection in the 2020 NBA Draft, but it was somehow arguably not even the biggest Wolves story of the night.
The Wolves made a draft night trade involving the acquisition of Ricky Rubio, who the Wolves originally drafted in 2009 (ahead of Steph Curry, but nobody remembers that, right?).
Though the question of Rubio’s ability to play with D’Angelo Russell lingered, Wolves fans were at least able to find some excitement in the return of one of the most popular personalities in the history of the Timberwolves franchise.
