He loves Minnesota,\u201D&amp;nbsp;Calipari said. \u201CAs a matter of fact, that's where he\u2019d like to go.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Calipari had previously said that Murray deserved to be taken with the No. 1 pick, but with the 76ers&amp;nbsp;already planning on selecting LSU\u2019s Ben Simmons with the top pick, Murray is more likely to fall further down in the order.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;MORE NBA: Draft rumors |&amp;nbsp;Needs for every team&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SI.com has projected&amp;nbsp;Murray to be selected as high as No. 3, but SI\u2019s Andrew Sharp most recently predicted Murray will be drafted by the New Orleans Pelicans with the No. 6 pick. Sharp predicts the Timberwolves will select Providence guard Kris Dunn with the No. 5 pick.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Calipari said Murray would like the opportunity to play with Karl-Anthony Towns, who was last year\u2019s No. 1 pick out of Kentucky.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CHe looked at that situation and said, \u2018They need me and I\u2019d love to be there,\u2019\u201D&amp;nbsp;Calipari said. \u201CAnd he\u2019s met Karl and been around Karl and knows what a great kid he is. I\u2019m not saying [Timberwolves coach and president Tom Thibodeau] has to take him. But I know that\u2019s what Jamal likes, that situation: The young guys and what they have and what he\u2019d add to that team.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;Report: Celtics\u2019 attempt to trade No. 3 pick rejected by multiple teams&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Murray averaged 20.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game in his first season at Kentucky.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
