Wolves eye impact player in draft

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Timberwolves don’t have much money to spend in free agency this summer and few desirable contracts to use as trade bait to improve the team.
So the way assistant general manager Fred Hoiberg sees it, that leaves only one avenue to make significant improvement on last year’s 22-60 record, the third worst in the NBA.
‘‘We need to get a player in the draft that’s going to come in here and make an impact right away,’’ Hoiberg said Thursday.
That starts with the annual NBA Draft Lottery on Tuesday in New York. Hoiberg is headed to the Big Apple to represent the Timberwolves at the luck-fest. With the third-worst record, behind Miami and Seattle, the Wolves have a 13.8 percent chance at landing the top pick in the draft.
The odds are even better — 14.
