Wolves Updates 4/6 E-mail
Written by SG

Can you hear that up in the Twin Cities, Kevin McHale? If the Timberwolves happen to get lucky in the lottery for the first time in franchise history, there's no decision to make.
 
The pick has to be Derrick Rose, the Memphis freshman who would turn Al Jefferson into an All-Star and the Wolves into a team worth watching again.
 
  
 
Given Al Jefferson’s low-post proficiency, that’d be some inside-out combination for the Wolves, but after that all these years, are Wolves followers even allowed to dream about lottery luck? Rose already abused Texas point guard D.J. Augustin in a regional final; now we get to see him against UCLA’s Darren Collison and Russell Westbrook.
 
 
 
At stake in the season's final 10 days: anywhere from a 15.6 to 8.8 percent chance of getting the draft's No. 1 pick, depending on how the Wolves, Grizzlies and Knicks finish the season. 
 
 
 
While some Timberwolves players riding the bench have done some complaining, Mark Madsen, who saw a lot of action in previous seasons, will not. "I'm just going to have patience and see what happens," he said. 
 
 
 
Postgame quotes from Friday's loss at Phoenix 
 
 
 
Previews of today's game against the Grizzlies:
 
 
Flip Saunders on Glen Taylor's comments about Garnett tanking at the end of last season:
I told some people, Glen is not malicious in what he does. You guys only have so many lines you can write. I don't think Glen ever thinks that. Maybe it was taken a little bit out of context. Anybody who knows KG knows the competitor he is. Maybe frustrated was the word that should have been used. More than anything else, he wants to win.
