Wolves Updates 5/21 Part 2 E-mail

Post-lottery reaction from Fred Hoiberg courtesy of Draft Express: 
Q: What do you guys need more than anything else as you look at the roster?
Hoiberg:
We’ll see how everything plays out, after we bring the guys in and see how our team is taking shape. That second tier group has a few centers you could maybe add to the mix. There are a couple of perimeter players that could take some pressure off of our guys. There are some good players who should fit into our team. 
 
Q: Your team made great strides toward the end of last season. How optimistic are you, now adding another high pick?
Hoiberg:  We’re very optimistic about next year. After starting out 5-37, we finished the year 10-12, and we have a player we can build around in Al Jefferson who averaged more than 21 points and 11 rebounds, one of only two guys to do that along with Dwight Howard. Randy Foye got healthy, averaged over 20 points over the last seven games. We’re excited about that. We’re going to get another very good player who can hopefully come in and be a rotation player for us.
 
 
 
  
Mike Trudell/Timberwolves site posts in-depth profiles on potential Wolves draft picks, including:
 
 
 
Peter W/Canis Hoopus posts Kevin McHale's journal entry from the day after the lottery. 
 
 
 
The up to 500 fans who got in on the Minnesota Timberwolves 2008-09 “Pay the Pick” season ticket promotion, which promised to give the fan a per game ticket price correlating to the team's draft position, will be paying $129 for season tickets. After getting the third pick in the draft last night, these fans--who had to get in before the pick was called--will pay $3 per game for 43 games.
 
That definitely qualifies as the lowest season ticket package ever offered by a pro team..
