Texas Tech's Jarrett Culver on going sixth in the NBA draft, Lubbock, what he learned from Chris Beard and his dream car

Jarrett Culver will start his NBA career with Minnesota, although he'll have to wait until next month for a draft day trade with Phoenix to be official.

After leading Tech to the NCAA championship game this past season season, Culver was taken sixth on Thursday. He was quizzed on a variety of topics by the media after being drafted in Brooklyn. Here are a few excerpts:

Q. Lubbock, Texas, I'm showing my age here, but I remember Buddy Holly being the most famous celebrity coming out of Lubbock. Any familiarity with the music?
Culver: Yeah, Buddy Holly, he's an icon down there.
