So far, Stanford’s Brook Lopez is the only draft prospect known to come to Target Center for a workout. Next week, though, will be busy with probably four days of workouts scheduled there.

On Monday, Memphis guard Chris Douglas-Roberts, Oregon guard Bryce Taylor, France’s Nicolas Batum and Virginia Tech forward Deron Washington are due in for a look at players the Wolves could take with their two second-round picks, or possibly later in the first round if they do some trading and moving in the draft.

Tuesday is Big Man Day, with UCLA forward Kevin Love, Texas A&M center DeAndre Jordan, Nevada center JaVale McGee, Ohio State center Kosta Koufos and tall, skinny power forward Alexis Ajinca from France scheduled. Koufos reportedly had an impressive workout in a group that included Love in Seattle recently.

The Wolves also probably will work out players Wednesday and Friday. It’ll be interesting to see if they can get O.J. Mayo to come in for a workout.

Wolves brass spent this week in Houston in a joint workout with the Rockets of players expected to be taken late in the first round and early in the second round of the June 26 draft.
