Report: D'Angelo Russell to Privately Workout for the Minnesota Timberwolves Next Week

D'Angelo Russell says he's the best player in this year's draft, and it looks like he'll get one last opportunity to prove it to the team with the No. 1 overall pick, according to WKSTP-Minneapolis' Darren Wolfson:

Many people suspect either Duke's Jahlil Okafor or Kentucky's Karl-Anthony Towns will go No. 1, but Minnesota coach Flip Saunders said yesterday the team is still undecided.

If the Timberwolves do pull the trigger on Russell at No. 1 on June 25, it might spell the end of Spanish point guard Ricky Rubio's tenure.

Yesterday, Russell worked out for the Los Angeles Lakers, who have the No. 2 pick. Russell has also said he's meeting with the Knicks, who own the No. 4 pick.
