- As expected, the Wolves chose Derrick Williams of Arizona as their top pick in this year's NBA draft. So far as we know, they're going to keep him in spite of all the trade rumors out there. The same can't be said for fellow first-round pick Donatas Motiejunas and for Jonny Flynn, who were both traded to the Houston Rockets for Brad Miller and some draft picks. Did we mention that Kevin McHale coaches the Rockets now?
- Ricky Rubio was given a hero's welcome (but something less than a ticker tape parade) when he arrived in the Twin Cities after the Wolves finally signed him. Looking like a Spanish Justin Bieber, Rubio was the prime pick in Kahn's collection of point guards. But his play in Europe, even though he was part of a Barcelona team that won a championship there, left something to be desired to those in the know. Kahn has confidence that Rubio can play in the NBA, so it'll be interesting to see if he's more than just a pretty face.
- If you believe the media reports, Kurt Rambis will no longer be the Timberwolves' coach by the time you read this. The only person who hasn't confirmed this is Kahn, who has inexplicably kept Rambis on a string up until now while deciding his fate. Is Kahn really this indecisive, or does he have someone in mind and couldn't announce it yet?
