DID YOU KNOW?
• In the 14 years using the current lottery system, the team with the best odds has won the No. 1 pick only twice: Cleveland in 2003 and Orlando in 2004.
• Fred Hoiberg knows all about being a No. 1 overall pick -- he was one once. In 1995 the Omaha Racers made him the first player selected in the CBA draft. "Me and Joe Smith," he said, referring to the NBA's top pick that year.
• The Wolves have two connections to O.J. Mayo, right, USC's freshman star who allegedly accepted thousands of dollars of gifts and cash from a sports agency representative when he was in high school and college: The head of that agency, Bill Duffy, was Wolves boss Kevin McHale's college roommate. Mayo's college coach, Tim Floyd, coached Hoiberg at Iowa State.
