Wolves Updates 2/4 E-mail

The Wolves flew to Dallas on Wednesday morning, two days in advance of Friday's game with the Mavericks. The purpose: Give the players a break from Minnesota's snow and cold, even though it was raining and in the low 40s when the team arrived in Texas.

Rambis also gave them the day off from practice, after saying Monday and Tuesday that they'd work all four days between Sunday's victory over New York and Friday's game. He did call them together for an afternoon gathering Wednesday, and they are scheduled to practice Thursday afternoon at American Airlines Center.



From ESPN: Most Improved Player of the Year Watch
4. Corey Brewer, Wolves: He has gone from being just a lockdown defender to being a lockdown defender with a jumper. His shooting range, shooting percentages and points-per-game average have risen each month this season.



From David Thorpe/ESPN: Rookie Watch: Midseason awards
Quickest off the dribble: Brandon Jennings, Bucks

Runner-up: Jonny Flynn, Timberwolves

Flynn gets this over Lawson. Barely. In fact, Flynn is a better finisher at the rim than Jennings, using his superior strength to square up at the end of drives and kiss it off the glass. He can drive in either direction and shoots the midrange jumper well enough to keep his defenders close, which then gives him the chance to change gears and separate from his defender on his way to the hole.

Everyone keeps talkng about trading Al Jefferson, why? Kevin and Al are getting along fine. They both score and rebound at high rates. Why not give them time to work out the kinks on defense?

David Thorpe  (12:19 PM)
They can play offense together and are a great rebounding tandem, but I have doubts about what they can do on d. Can they win 45 games with them as the frontcourt? Yes. But can they contend for a title? No.



Royce White, the ex-Gophers basketball player who on Wednesday dropped out of school, could end up trying the music business with former Timberwolves guard Troy Hudson, who has tried to make it as a rapper.



From Jonah Ballow/Timberwolves site:
Jefferson may head to Dallas on February 12 to watch Flynn and Kevin Love fight head-to-head at the Rookie-Sophomore Challenge during All-Star Weekend. Flynn was selected to the game along with a group of ultra-talented point guards, including Tyreke Evans and Brandon Jennings.

Flynn's numbers against the elite point guards of the league are helping him gain respect from a first-year player to a future Hall-of-Famer.

"I've known Jonny for a while now; he's a good friend of mine. I played with him a couple of times; he's just a good kid," Evans said. "We both bring a lot of energy and we both love to win. He can get to the basket like me, he's a little guard and I go with the big guys. He's a great finisher and a great point guard. I'd say we have the same ability to get to the basket."

Flynn as a 6th man
written by J-Rod, February 04, 2010
David Thorpe keeps saying Flynn would be best suited as a 6th man, do you agree? He also said Lawson has more potential, agree? I'm getting frustrated with these comments from Thorpe, does he just not like Flynn or is Flynn just another bad draft selection among many others?
