As of right now, if Minnesota keeps the pick, it appears likely that
Mayo will be selected at #3, although things could still change between
now and draft day. One rumor making the rounds says that the LA
Clippers may offer to package their own pick (#7) along with their 2009
first round pick (protected) and the future pick they are owed by
Minnesota(top 10 protected), in order to move up and select Mayo.  
 
 
 
Jerry Zgoda/Star Tribune asked four Pac-10 experts for their opinions about the Wolves’ potential picks.

 

 
 
And they say the fact that they already have a combo guard on the roster in Randy Foye won’t be a deterrent.
 
“When you have one combo, you’d like to have two combos, just because then they could play off each other and the positions are a little bit interchangeable,” Wolves general manager Jim Stack said after Mayo’s Saturday workout in Chicago. “I think O.J. can defend. That’s one of his strengths and I believe Randy Foye, it’s going to become more and more one of his strengths. They can guard different size guys.” 
 
 
 
I essentially got that question from a reader Sunday, in response to a
rumor in the St. Paul Pioneer-Press. That rumor (and it wasn’t written
by that newspaper’s NBA writer) suggested the Bobcats and the Minnesota
Timberwolves might be discussing a deal that could include Morrison…
  
I ran this past a player-personnel guy who was high on Morrison coming
out of college. He said Morrison still has trade value, but only once
he demonstrates his knee is healed, after missing all last season.
 

It’s unlikely Morrison will play in summer-league games in Las Vegas, so proving he’s healthy is months away.
