As it stands, the Minnesota Timberwolves have a 5.3 percent chance to win the number one overall pick in Tuesday’s lottery.
Minnesota has only picked first overall one time in their franchise’s history. That came very recently in 2015 when they selected Karl-Anthony Towns.
Remember, Andrew Wiggins, also a former number one overall pick was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers and later traded to Minnesota.
After two seasons, Towns has surpassed expectations and continues to blossom, not only into one of the league’s best big men but one of the league’s best players overall. He looks to be on the verge of being a savior for a franchise who desperately needed one since Kevin Garnett left.
