Stanford center Brook Lopez was the first player to work out for the Minnesota Timberwolves in the hope of becoming the third overall pick, Mike Trudell writes on the team's official website.

"I thought it went really well," said Lopez. "I think I can come here and help the team win. I'll do whatever the coaches require of me and work my hardest."

"We were able to see him do some different things, put him in situations where he had to put the ball on the floor, change direction and stuff like that, that I wanted to see," said Kevin McHale. "He showed some range, he showed some stuff. You just want to see him in situations where you're saying "If you're going to play with Al Jefferson, these are situations you are going to find yourself in."
