In the upcoming 2019 NBA Draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves have the number 11 overall pick. While there are many promising prospects they will have to choose from, there has already been word that Minnesota already knows who they plan on taking.
According to Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders, there are rumors that Rui Hachimura had received a promise from Minnesota that they would select him with the number 11 overall pick. This rumor came to light when Hachimura shut down workouts and meetings with teams recently and people began to question why.
Heard Rui got a commitment in the lottery (Minnesota was the buzz at the Combine) — usually when you take a commitment you shut down workouts and meetings with teams.
