Kahn will now ramp up the preparation for the June 25 draft. The Wolves front office staff will hit the road this next week and then the team will host more group workouts to target the No. 6 pick.
“Well, I think almost all the people who’re coming in though will still be in a group setting, so we’ll be seeing people in much the same concept or format starting late next week. A lot of our staff now is hitting the road to the Treviso Euroleague camp this weekend. We have some staff doing some campus visits for background research, and the week after that there’s an under-19 thing that’s important in Colorado Springs, but at least for starting tonight, I’m going to feel like a loner. I’m about the only one who will be here. We have a bunch of guys coming in late next week and I think some more coming in the following week.”
Kahn and the staff will also travel to college campuses for a more personal look at the prospects.

“I think that there will hopefully be more depth than you can accomplish in a phone call. I’ve always felt that no matter what the situation, if you visit with people face-to-face or one-on-one, you just, I think it’s more helpful. The phone is still a very valuable tool, I don’t want to discount it completely, but I think a face-to-face with a broader range of people is helpful.”

I don’t think the Lakers can be beat any time Kobe Bryant plays like that. Not with all the other stars on that team. Pau Gasol was the second-leading scorer, Andrew Bynum played pretty well and, what, Dwight Howard made only one field goal. I don’t think the Lakers could have been beaten in Game 1.
After Game 1, in the middle of the Lakers’ joyous locker room, while Luke Walton, Derek Fisher and Sasha Vujacic were offering first-hand analysis to the media, Kevin Love was interviewing Vic Jacobs.
Honest. One of the Minnesota Timberwolves, working for NBA TV, was conducting an actual on-camera interview with “The Brick,” who is the Lakers’ unpaid mascot and a noted radio nut job.
