MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — When the Timberwolves took Tyus Jones last year in the NBA draft, it completed a pretty cool quintet in Minnesota sports.

Each of the so-called “Big 5” pro teams in town now have at least one Minnesota native on the roster.

David McCoy got them together, one from each team, at Target Field.

Lindsay Whalen from the Lynx. Zach Parise from the Wild. Adam Thielen from the Vikings. Tyus Jones from the Wolves. And Glen Perkins from the Twins.
