Before the draft, Timberwolves President Gersson Rosas said traditionally it was hard to move up into the top five of any NBA draft.
Perhaps that’s one reason why the Wolves stopped a bit short, trading up from No. 11 and sending Dario Saric to the Suns to take Texas Tech’s Jarrett Culver with the No. 6 pick. The Wolves had looked into opportunities to trade up in the days leading up to the draft, and about an hour before it Thursday, Rosas pulled the trigger on the move.
"What we were able to do tonight is pretty rare,” Rosas said.
