With the 13th pick of the 2014 NBA Draft, Zach LaVine has become a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves. The T’wolves are a team in transition that looks to utilize the young baller’s talents. LaVine’s skills are raw and will need some fine tuning in the next few years, but this is a great pick-up for Minnesota’s future. So let us take a look at what Twitter said about LaVine heading to the NBA.
