By Larry Fine NEW YORK - The Minnesota Timberwolves are expected make versatile big man Karl-Anthony Towns of Kentucky the top pick in Thursday's NBA Draft where a deep pool of U.S. college and international talent are up for grabs. Towns, who can play power forward or center at 6-foot-11, can shoot from the outside, score inside and is a superior defender -- ready made for the NBA wars. The Los Angeles Lakers hold the second pick among the 30 NBA teams while the Philadelphia 76ers, New York Knicks and Orlando Magic round out the top five.
