The Minnesota Timberwolves have informed Karl-Anthony Towns that they will select him with the No. 1 pick in Thursday’s NBA Draft, a source close to Towns told SNY.tv. “It’s done, he’s going to Minnesota,” the source said. “[Minnesota President and coach] Flip Saunders was big on Jahlil Okafor for a minute there and after Karl came in [on Saturday], he decided to work out for them. He only worked out for them and it’s a wrap. It’s a wrap. They just told him they’re going to take him No. 1.” Towns would join a young Minnesota roster that features the last two No. 1 overall picks in Canadians Anthony Bennett and Andrew Wiggins. The 7-foot Towns, a native of Piscataway, N.J. who starred last year at Kentucky, arrived in the Twin Cities on Friday night and took a tour of the Wolves’ new $25 million practice facility and dined with owner Glen Taylor, Saunders and several other team officials, according to The Associated Press. - See more at:http://zagsblog.com/articles/minnesota-will-take-karl-anthony-towns-with-no-1-pick-source/
