Karl-Anthony Towns expects to go No. 1 overall in the NBA Draft, which is why he has only worked out for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
With the draft on Thursday, a source "close to Towns" tells Adam Zagoria of SNY.tv that the Kentucky big man was informed he'll get selected No. 1 by Minnesota.
"It's done, he's going to Minnesota," the source said. "[Minnesota President and coach] Flip Saunders was big on Jahlil Okafor for a minute there and after Karl came in [on Saturday], he decided to work out for them. He only worked out for them and it's a wrap. It's a wrap. They just told him they're going to take him No. 1."
Towns worked out for the Timberwolves on Saturday.
Towns arrived in the Twin Cities on Friday night. He took a tour of the Wolves' new $25 million practice facility and dined with owner Glen Taylor, President Flip Saunders and several other team officials.
Towns is considered the heavy favorite to be chosen No. 1 overall on Thursday night, and the Wolves are the only team he has worked out for during the pre-draft process.
