<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Timberwolves said they had some questions for O.J. Mayo, and the Southern California guard apparently had all the right answers Saturday. So, does that mean he can be penciled in to Minnesota with the third pick in Thursday's NBA draft? "I wish it was that easy," Wolves general manager Jim Stack said after Mayo's five-team workout in Chicago. "You know, we've got some kids coming in next week, obviously. ... We want to make sure we're real diligent and thorough with the whole process. But O.J.'s certainly a guy that we're considering and probably among four or five guys that we're still kind of wading through." Stack said Mayo sat down with the Wolves' seven-man contingent for about an hour after his workout and answered a battery of questions, including allegations that he accepted money and favors from an agent's representative while in college. "He basically told us that he didn't do anything wrong, which I tended to buy into what he was saying," Stack said. "He didn't have a car, but did he get driven around quite a bit by this (Rodney) Guillory guy? Absolutely. But after some things came out, he said later on that there may be some layers behind the scenes that were going on that he wasn't aware of. And he definitely distanced himself from those situations after he found out more information. At the end of the day, I think it really taught him some lessons about being careful with his inner circle and understanding where people are coming from."</div> St. Paul Pioneer Press
