MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Kentucky big man Karl-Anthony Towns tells The Associated Press he has "no promise at all" from the Minnesota Timberwolves, who hold the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft on Thursday.

It is no secret that the Minnesota Timberwolves aren't an exciting destination for players at this point. A playoff drought of 10 years compounded by star player Kevin Love looking to leave aren't the most appealing circumstances for potential new talent.

The 2013 NBA Draft will be remembered for its unpredictability, with a night of surprises right from the get-go. Here's a recap from Thursday night's event:

So while we are almost done with June, and basketball, and hockey seasons are done, or almost done; I figure it is great time to do a list of top five Minnesota sports related things you need to watch for for the rest of 2013 calender year.

All signs point to the New Orleans Hornets taking Kentucky standout Anthony Davis with the first pick of Thursday’s NBA Draft. Davis is widely considered to be the most NBA-ready player in the crop of players vying for the top spots. If the Hornets do select Davis, he’ll instantly be shouldered with the burden of turning around the struggling franchise.

Dear LeBron James. I am going to be your psychologist right now. Your career is at a crossroad. You were drafted 3,267 days ago. It was 754 days ago today when you last played for the Cleveland Cavilers, and 56 days later you told everyone you were taking your talents to South Beach.
