2013 NBA draft
When: 6:30 p.m. Thursday
TV: ESPN, beginning at 6 p.m.
Wolves draft party: Target Center main floor; doors open at 5:30 p.m.
Wolves picks: Two in the first round — Nos. 9 and 26 — and two in the second round — Nos. 52 and 59.
Leading off: Cleveland has the first overall pick for the second time in three years.
Wolves' top need: A shooting guard, but the top two at that position — Ben McLemore and Victor Oladipo — figure to be off the board by No. 9. That could prompt the Wolves to look at a big man, such as Indiana's Cody Zeller.
