A couple of quotes from Towns:

"I love him already" (just got off the phone with Flip)
"This team could be very good, scary good as a matter of fact. Reminds me a lot of my Kentucky squad. An abundance of talent. Great coaching. Great owner.

That will look good too. I just would rather him stick with same number.

Kind of odd for him to ask fans for our opinion, 12 gets the more votes, and he goes 32 though. :lol:

32 is Laettners old number. It was also Shaq's number. I'd go with something original, but then I remember Dwight wears 12.

I think 32 looks better on a jersey than 12. Also, now I can just replace the "SMITH" nameplate on the back of my old Joe Smith Twolves jersey. Lol.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Jacqueline Cruz-Towns sat on a bench in the Minnesota Timberwolves' sparkling new practice facility, proudly wearing a Wolves hat on her head and a big smile on her face as she recalled a pre-draft visit her son Karl-Anthony made to Minneapolis last week.

"He toured this beautiful facility and he told me, 'Mom, this is the place for me,'" Cruz-Towns said Friday, a day after the Timberwolves made him the No. 1 overall draft pick.

Long considered the NBA's version of Siberia, a losing franchise playing in a frigid climate ignored by free agents, the Timberwolves found two players in the draft who couldn't be happier to be coming to Minnesota.

Karl-Anthony Towns was widely considered the best player in the draft, and he made no secret about his happiness in being selected by the Timberwolves, even though the tradition-rich Lakers playing in glitzy Los Angeles were sitting there at No. 2.

"He wanted to be here," Towns' father, Karl, said. "He loves this place."

The 32 looks weird on him, but maybe the jersey redesign will help that.

That's the work ethic that turns NBA players into legends. 24 hours after getting drafted and he's in the gym at midnight
