The Minnesota Timberwolves first participated in the National Basketball Association (NBA) Draft on June 27, 1989, about five months before their inaugural NBA season. The Timberwolves are currently the second NBA team to be based in Minneapolis since the Minneapolis Lakers were there from {{nbay|1948|start|baa=yes}} to {{nbay|1959|end}}.
Before each draft, an NBA draft lottery determines the first round selection order for the teams that did not make the playoffs during the prior season.{{cite web |url=http://www.nba.com/history/draft_evolution.html |title=Evolution of the Draft and Lottery |work=NBA.com |access-date=2008-03-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101203184544/http://www.nba.com/history/draft_evolution.html |archive-date=2010-12-03 |url-status=dead }} Teams can also trade their picks, which means that a team could have more than or less than two picks in one draft. As a result of the various trades, the Minnesota Timberwolves had four draft picks in 1992 and 2006. The Timberwolves drafted Pooh Richardson with their first ever draft pick, tenth overall, in the 1989 NBA draft. In 1995, the Timberwolves picked Kevin Garnett fifth overall, who went on to be a 15-time All-Star.{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/allstar2010/players/kevin_garnett.html|title=2010 All-Star Player Profile: Kevin Garnett|work=NBA.com|access-date=2010-12-29|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100523135559/http://www.nba.com/allstar2010/players/kevin_garnett.html|archive-date=2010-05-23}} In 1996, the Timberwolves drafted Ray Allen fifth overall but was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks with a future first-round pick for the draft rights of Stephon Marbury.{{cite web|url=https://www.nydailynews.com/archives/sports/1996/06/27/1996-06-27_marbury_learns_like_a_pro.html|title=Marbury Learns Like a Pro|publisher=NY Daily News.com|access-date=2008-07-18}}{{dead link|date=September 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} In the 2008 NBA draft, the Timberwolves drafted O. J. Mayo third overall but was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies along with three other players from the Timberwolves for the draft rights to Kevin Love along with three other players from the Grizzlies. The Timberwolves have landed the first overall pick twice in franchise history, selecting Karl-Anthony Towns in the 2015 NBA draft and Anthony Edwards in the 2020 NBA draft.
