The Minnesota Timberwolves appear content staying at No. 4 with their first pick in the NBA draft.

Team president David Kahn said Tuesday it is "highly unlikely'' the team will deal the first of its three selections, either to move up in the draft or move down. He says that whoever is there at No. 4 on Thursday night will be a great player for the Timberwolves.

Syracuse forward Wesley Johnson, Georgia Tech forward Derrick Favors and Kentucky center DeMarcus Cousins are the three most likely candidates for the Wolves to consider at No. 4.

The team also has the 16th and 23rd selections in the first round. Kahn says he is considering offers for those picks.
