Wolves Updates 6/16 Part 2

This coming weekend, a number of teams will make the trip Chicago for
another one-on-none workout. According to sources, Mayo has invited
representatives from the top seven teams in the draft — Chicago,
Miami, Minnesota, Seattle, Memphis, New York and the L.A.
Clippers…
Despite Mayo’s attempt to snub the Wolves, Sonics and Grizzlies by not
visiting them, sources say that the Wolves will likely take Mayo at
No. 3 if they don’t trade down in the draft. We’ve had Mayo projected
at the No. 3 spot since our first mock draft but haven’t been sure
that the Wolves would be the team selecting him. It now appears,
either way, that he’s going to be a Top 3 pick.
Grizz Blogs posed some questions to Twolves Blog about the upcoming draft.

Mike Trudell/Timberwolves site chats with KFAN’s Henry Lake about the draft.  Trudell also posts some of Kevin McHale’s comments about the draft following Monday’s workouts:
“There will be a few teams behind us that will say, ‘We’ve absolutely
fallen in love with player A, we have to have him,'” said McHale. “We
have options right now of moving around … I still like our position
of being able to pick the guy that we like (at No. 3), but we’ll see.”

And the second-round picks?
“We can move into the first round if we want to, but it has to be a guy
that is worthwhile,” said McHale. “At a certain point, if we get to 15
and there are still 20 guys we really like, then you’re saying, ‘We’re
going to get two of those guys.’ So it wouldn’t really make sense (to
trade up).”
