Considering the voids at center and point guard, a deal of the No. 2
pick to address one of those holes could mean trading down — if Rose
isn’t available. Riley, for example, is thought to be infatuated with
Stanford center Brook Lopez. A swap of No. 2 to Minnesota for No. 3
might allow the Heat to recapture the future No. 1 pick it owes the
Timberwolves, possibly reclaim the former Heat pick Minnesota owns at
the top of the second round, or perhaps even expand the deal with an
eye on ‘Wolves point guard Randy Foye.

This great new drink is different from other energy drinks because it
has zero calories and zero carbs. Why so low calorie? It’s simply a
fusion of spring water and caffeine.
 
 
   
It’s impossible to predict now how the rest of the lottery will unfold
– teams haven’t even started working out prospective picks – but the
thought is Minnesota may need a centre to go along with power forward
Al Jefferson, and look to Stanford’s Brook Lopez. Or the T-Wolves could
opt for USC’s O.J. Mayo to improve their backcourt.
 
 
 
O.J. Mayo doesn’t necessarily fill one of the
T-Wolves most pressing needs, but a talent like this you don’t pass up
on. Minnesota needs more young talent at every position, and Mayo is
the most gifted guy in the draft outside of the Big Two. While Mayo
should be able to help the team out at the point guard spot down the
road, Minnesota should be patient with him and let him get his feet wet
playing the 2-spot before shifting him over to the point.
 
  
 
Chad Ford/ESPN on Brandon Rush:
On Wednesday, I saw him work out with Wolves forward Antoine Walker.
Rush shot about 80 to 90 percent from the field in the workout. He can
hit his shot from just about anywhere. He also has the size and skill
to post up smaller guards.
