MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The Minnesota Timberwolves have brought in Arizona State guard James Harden for a last-minute workout.

Harden is expected to be chosen in the top five selections of Thursday's NBA draft. He did not visit Minnesota initially because the Wolves had the sixth pick, but agreed to a Wednesday workout.

The Wolves have acquired Washington's pick at No. 5 and could move up even higher.

After sending guards Mike Miller and Randy Foye to Washington, the Wolves are in the market for a new shooting guard and Harden could fit in well.
Thriving on mediocrity since '89.

This is the guy I want. Legit Size at the SG position, strong defende, and a crafty scorer. Would pair perfectly with Curry or Flynn.

I would be thrilled with Harden at 5 or 6.

Or Rubio, or Holiday. Evans would be a good partner too.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.

if Memphis is indeed picking Thabeet, then OKC will pick Harden, so if wovles want him they need to make a trade up with either with Mem or OKC.
