What Next???

So the season is over... What can a Timberwolves fan look forward to? Head Coach Randy Wittman seems to have a pretty good idea and banks on a hopeful vision for the offseason and training camp. Click HERE for the entire interview with our head coach and his aspirations for our future!!!

Garnett Recieves Post Season Rewards

It comes as no surprise that our All-Star Kevin Garnett received the honors of the 06-07 All-Defensive Second Team. The team was voted on by the NBA's 30 head coaches, and this marks his 8th year being on either the first or second All Defensive Team. But he did more than just defense this year. Garnett lead the team in scoring, rebounding, steals, and minutes. Please don't leave us Garnett...

Do you know the coach???

Randy Wittman took over as head coach of the Timberwolves on Jan. 23 of this season. Being dealt a hard hand to begin with, Coach Wittman had half a season to turn this ball club around.
Randy has been around the NBA, but before that he enjoyed an impressive career at Indiana University as a part of the 1981 NCAA Championship team. He was then drafted first round into the NBA and played a career averaging 7.4 points a game and shooting over 50% from the field.

Player Profile [Bracey Wright]

Bracey did not get to play much this year. Another guy with a lot of talent who rightly earned a spot on this team, but wasn't a part of the equation for winning games this year (something that could change in the future). Bracey has had one year of experience behind him and depending on how he works in the offseason, could turn some heads as he returns for the preseason. His stats are right here.

Player Profile [Craig Smith]

The other rookie that made a profound difference in our teams play this year was Craig Smith. A thick forward who enjoys banging down low, this 6'7, 272 lb big man got a lot of crucial boards and put-backs this season.
If you enjoy watching a post player work hard for position and fight for rebounds Craig is the guy to watch. I am looking for a promising future that won't necessarily stand out, but be a valuable asset to any team in need of a work horse.
This year' stats can be found here.

Player Profile [Justin Reed]

Another player that did not see a lot of playing time this season, but is a great asset to have on the team. Justin Reed has been in the league for 2 seasons and went to the funnest college to spell, Mississippi.
He stands at 6'9" and weighs 238. Check out his season's stats here.

Player Profile [Rashad McCants]

With one year under his belt, Rashad McCants entered his second season with a knee injury that benched for the bulk of the year. With high hopes for his future, this 6'4" gaurd can jump out of the gym and seems to be a crowd pleaser. Check out his stats.
He came from North Carolina with some great college years and is hoping to make a difference in this struggling Timberwolves franchise.
