Zach LaVine did not appear to be happy to be drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday.
The former UCLA guard looked anything but enthusiastic about being selected No. 13 overall by Minnesota. He immediately slammed his head against the table after hearing his name called.
Many people even speculated that he said, “f— me” as he got up from the table after being picked.
I definitely saw an F-bomb being dropped, but I’m not certain if that was a “f— me” or “f—, man.” One is obviously an expression of unhappiness with going to Minnesota, while the other could be an expression of gratitude that the exhausting process is finally over.
Then again, this tweet from the Philly Daily News’ Tyler Tynes seems to confirm it:
Walking behind former UCLA player Zach LaVine and he is not happy about where he got drafted

I’m not sure why LaVine would be surprised. We passed along the report before the draft saying he had a promise from the Timberwolves that they would draft him at No. 13. Maybe he told them not to select him. Kevin Love wants out of that organization, why would he want to go there?
By the way, what’s up with Minnesota’s love of former UCLA players? Him, Malcolm Lee, Shabazz Muhammad, Love … they just can’t get enough of the Bruins.
