Jones and top draft pick Karl-Anthony Towns were introduced to fans and reporters on Friday. They were paraded through the downtown Minneapolis skyway, then held their first press conference as the newest members of the Timberwolves.
The Wolves say they have been flooded with emails and phone calls from fans interested in purchasing a “membership.” The team says there has been overwhelming demand for those memberships since last night’s draft that netted them the No. 1 overall pick in Towns and Minnesota’s top high school basketball player in years in Jones.
