Karl-Anthony Towns won't have to wait long to hear his name called on draft night, and according to one report, he already knows where he's going.
Towns has reportedly been informed by the Minnesota Timberwolves that he will be selected with the No. 1 overall pick at Thursday's NBA Draft, according to SNY.tv's Adam Zagoria.
"It's done, he's going to Minnesota," Zagoria said, citing a source close to Towns. "It's a wrap. They just told him they're going to take him No. 1."
Towns, long projected to be the No. 1 selection after an impressive freshman season at Kentucky, worked out with the T-Wolves on Saturday after choosing not to work out for any other team.
As for the big man once expected to challenge Towns for the top spot, Jahlil Okafor appears to be a good bet to go No. 2 to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The 19-year-old has the instincts of a shot-blocker and rim protector, but the athleticism and mobility to guard multiple positions, a key component for big men in the evolving world of NBA defenses.
