From Tom Ziller/Fanhouse:
The two ties make things ... interesting. The league will flip a coin
in each case later this week. The result will have no real bearing on
the lottery proceedings on May 20 -- Minnesota and Memphis, for
example, will split the balls available for the #3 and #4 teams. If
it's an odd number, the coin flip winner will take the extra one. But
the coin flip does have serious import with regards to draft
order. A Minnesota coin flip win means Minnesota picks ahead of
Memphis, unless Memphis vaults into the Top 3 by way of lottery win. It
also means the lowest Minnesota could pick would be #6, while Memphis
could fall as low as #7.
A year ago, the Wolves lost the draw with Portland after both teams
tied for the sixth-worst record. The Wolves got slotted seventh
overall, the Blazers sixth and one of the Blazers’ number combinations
out of a possible 1,001 turned out the winner of the lottery and of
Greg Oden.
Odenized with video of an embarrassing moment for Corey Brewer in yesterday's game.
Draft Needs: Size to allow Jefferson to play his natural power forward position, rather than center. Of course, the Timberwolves wouldn't pass on either Michael Beasley or Derrick Rose if they are there to select, but must stay away from drafting undersized guards this year. Outside of Beasley or Rose, a perfect fit for Minnesota would be Brook Lopez from Stanford.
