NBA Mock Draft: Timberwolves Trade Down, Suns Select Adreian Payne

NBA Mock Draft Pick #13 -- Adreian Payne , Forward, Michigan State

Following a trade with the Phoenix Suns, Timberwolves blog Cannis Hoopus explains the move:

The Wolves have traded the 13th pick in the draft and Corey Brewer to the Phoenix Suns for the 18th pick in the draft. After the Celtics trade, our roster was severely overcrowded and we needed to move something. Corey Brewer has two years left on his contract at $5M per year, and was, well, surplus to requirements. We feel like there won't be much of a downgrade from the players available at 13 to the players available at 18, so we took the opportunity to move some salary and clear a roster spot.
