Editor’s Note: Shortly after being drafted No. 1 overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves, Karl-Anthony Towns joined our Kyle Ratke for an exclusive Timberwolves.com interview. Check out their full conversation below.
KR: Was the first time you knew you were going No. 1 overall when Adam Silver called out your name?
KAT: Yeah, actually it was weird because as he walked down, he looked at me and nodded. And I thought, ‘ah, it must be a great sign’. And then it turned out to be a great sign.
KR: It would have been weird if he would have done that and you weren’t the pick, right?
