Former Purdue star Robbie Hummel is the newest member of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Hummel was drafted No. 58 in the second of the NBA draft on Thursday night.

Hummel spent pre-draft workouts trying to convince NBA teams that his right knee is fine, even after tearing his ACL twice.

Hummel says he's already proven he's healthy by playing all of last season.

The Timberwolves traded their first round pick prior to the draft to the Houston Rockets for Chase Budinger.
