Summary
NBA Draft 2009
The Timberwolves, thanks to various trades, had six picks in the 2009 draft. They had four first-round picks at the #5, #6, #18, and #28 slots, as well as the #45 and #47 picks in the second.
Their first pick was Spanish teenage point guard sensation Ricky Rubio , followed immediately by another point guard, Syracuse sophomore Jonny Flynn . At #18, they picked yet another point guard, North Carolina's Ty Lawson . Their final first-rounder was Lawson's backcourt mate, shooting guard Wayne Ellington .
In the second round, the Timberwolves selected a fourth point guard, Nick Calathes of Florida . The team's final selection was Henk Norel , a Dutch power forward who was Rubio's teammate at Spanish club power Joventut Badalona .
The glut of point guards was partially resolved when the Timberwolves traded the rights to Lawson to the Denver Nuggets and Calathes to the Dallas Mavericks . In any event, Calathes was not expected to join the NBA in the near future, as he has signed a multimillion-dollar contract with Panathinaikos , one of the strongest clubs in his ancestral home of Greece.
