Entering the summer of 2009, the Minnesota Timberwolves were coming off one of their worst seasons in franchise history, tallying 60 losses.
It was the beginning of the David Kahn era and it could not have gotten off to a worse start.
Due to a plethora of trades, including the Kevin Garnett deal a few years earlier, the Timberwolves held four selections in the first round.
Even though the 2009 lottery didn’t fall the way the Timberwolves had hoped, they still ended up with the fifth and sixth overall picks in the draft to go along with the 18th and 28th selections.
