Well, Wolves fans: you can finally lay to rest the NBA Draft Lottery conspiracy theories (and yes, when I wrote about them the other day, I got a friendly reminder from the league's communications office that they take this business very seriously). No league in its right mind would rig a lottery to give the Wolves the top pick, but that is exactly the pick Minnesota earned last night. It does not matter that No. 1 was the slot the Wolves were in based on record. This is a massive victory. No doubt about it. The reaction from Wolves fans was a mixture of excitement and shock. Here are some of the best tweets I saw:
