OK, this is off the top of my head, so I'm not cheating by checking the internet. Assuming that we consider Ndudi Ebi and Will Avery's enormous contribtutions (even Corey Brewer was more productive) as playing for the Timberwolves, I think the 5 would be Mayo, Roy, Allen, the immortal Paul Grant (I don't think he ever played for the team) and ... who? I can't think of any other first round pick that never played for them, unless this is a trick question and you count Rick Mahorn, their top pick in the expansion draft.

Assuming the guys they traded, like Mayo, don't come back, who are the
five (if I'm counting them all) top draft picks of the Wolves who
never played for them?
