Former Timberwolves GM David Kahn said "you just had to do it" when asked about drafting Derrick Williams second overall in 2011.
Many were calling for Williams to actually go first ahead of Kyrie Irving, and that would have been a monumental disaster for Cleveland. Players drafted after Williams include Jonas Valanciunas, Tristan Thompson, Brandon Knight, Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard, Nikola Vucevic, Iman Shumpert, Tobias Harris and Kenneth Faried. "You just had to do it, even though we were deep at that position. In time, I think it will prove to be the right pick," Kahn said.

Rick Adelman said this will be a "big" summer for Derrick Williams.
After an abysmal rookie season, Williams responded this season with averages of 12 points, 5.5 rebounds and 0.8 triples on 43 percent shooting. Most notably, Williams improved his three-point percentage to 33.2 after struggling his inaugural season with a mark of 26.8 percent. As a starter, Williams averaged 13.4 points and 6.2 rebounds, so he's still got plenty to prove if he's going to remain in Minnesota for the long haul. "He's certainly shown he can do some things for us, it's just a matter of how consistently he can do it," Adelman said.
Apr 19 - 9:25 AM
Derrick Williams had 21 points, six rebounds, four assists, a steal and two 3-pointers on 7-of-15 shooting in Wednesday's win over the Spurs.
Williams is a tough guy to figure out for next season, as he was up and down all year, and Kevin Love was out for most of it. We'll have to see how things shake out this summer, but regardless of what happens, he played well enough for most of the season to be given consideration later in most drafts.
Apr 17 - 11:42 PM
Derrick Williams plans to work with assistants Bill Bayno and Shawn Respert in the offseason.
Williams needs to round out his game, but he's proven he is better than anyone thought he was this season. His long-term future in Minnesota remains cloudy at best, but he did say that he'd like to remain with the Timberwolves. Of course, that's just about the only thing he can say and not get slammed for it, so we'll take it with a grain of salt.

Malcolm Lee
Sidelined
After undergoing knee surgery Monday, Malcolm Lee had an operation on his hip on Wednesday.
The hip procedure completes a surgery doubleheader for Lee, who faces a very lengthy and difficult rehab to get back on the court. Needless to say, he's out for the season.

Kevin Love
Sidelined
Kevin Love and Flip Saunders are hitting it off, and Love seems confident about the direction of the franchise under Saunders.
He’s very hopeful that I’ll be part of the team, a big part of the team, for many years to come," Love said. "And I don’t see why he should think otherwise." This is a big remark from Love given his previous comments painted an uncertain future, and as we previously suspected, the firing of David Kahn can only help Minny's chances of keeping Love on the roster.

Nikola Pekovic
Sidelined
Former Timberwolves GM David Kahn believes Nikola Pekovic is "probably aiming for a double-digit salary" as a restricted free agent during the offseason.
It's what we expected to hear, but Pekovic's free agency has the potential to turn into a monster headache for the team. The Wolves aren't good enough as currently constructed, but they can't really afford to lose Pekovic without a suitable replacement. A desperate team will throw Pekovic a multi-year offer at something like $10-12 million per season, a figure that may be difficult for Minnesota to match when looking at all of the holes on the roster. It's rare a team lets a restricted free agent leave, especially someone as critical as Pekovic is to Minnesota.
