Flip Saunders jumped for joy when he found out that the Minnesota Timberwolves received the #1 overall pick for the first time ever.
This past season was a train wreck, and nothing seemed to go as planned for the Minnesota Timberwolves. The plan for last year’s squad was to surprise everyone and compete for a playoff berth in the Western Conference. They won 16 games.
After Flip composed himself on Tuesday night, he spoke to the Minnesota media about landing the #1 overall pick. This draft is full of talent at the top; it is expected that Kentucky’s Karl-Anthony Towns and Duke’s Jahlil Okafor will be the first two selections made on June 25th.
