The Timberwolves nabbed UCLA point guard Zach LaVine in the NBA draft last night. But LaVine's reaction was less-than-enthusiastic.
MPR's Cathy Wurzer checked in with Howard Sinker, digital sports editor at the Start Tribune, for reaction to the Timberwolves' pick.
LaVine played only one season for UCLA, and he was not a starter. But the Timberwolves see him as someone with "athletic potential" who can make a contribution a couple years down the road, Sinker said.
Sinker also discussed the Timberwolves strategy in not trading Kevin Love last night.
