Timberwolves tumble to number 4 in draft lottery
The Minnesota Timberwolves are lottery losers again.
The Timberwolves went into Tuesday night's draft lottery with the second-best chance to land the No. 1 overall pick. They ended up tumbling down to No. 4, the latest in a long line of hard luck in the NBA's annual drawing.
In 13 tries, the Timberwolves have never improved their position in the lottery. They have fallen seven times and picked where they were supposed to on six occasions.
The Wolves would have loved to stay put and pick No. 2. Kentucky's John Wall and Ohio State's Evan Turner are widely considered the best two players in the draft.
But president David Kahn says he could try to swing a deal to move up on June 24.
