FIFTH TIME AT NO. 5
The Timberwolves stayed at No. 5 in Tuesday's NBA draft lottery. If they don't trade the pick, it will mark the fifth time the team has drafted fifth. Here's how the first four went:
1993: Isaiah Rider
• Played three years with Wolves before team grew weary of his mercurial attitude and off-court issues.
1995: Kevin Garnett
• Teenager became the best player in franchise history.
1996: Ray Allen (traded to Milwaukee for Stephon Marbury)
• Talented guard ultimately didn't want to be Garnett's sidekick and forced himself out of town.
2009: Ricky Rubio
