Britt Robson/On The Ball on last night’s game:
Inconsistency is another byproduct of players assuming roles and
burdens that are slightly larger than their perfect fit. Two of the
most inept Timberwolves during the club’s first pair of losses–Marko
Jaric and Corey Brewer–had by far their best games of the season. I’ll
be shocked if Jaric puts up another 10 assist/1 turnover game the rest
of his days in a Wolves uniform, and if Brewer nails a pair of
contested three-pointers and pulls down as many as six rebounds in the
same game again between now and the end of the calendar year, it will
be a pleasant surprise.

From Sentinel ,Coach Wittman on Corey Brewer:
"He’s been OK. He’s great defensively," Wittman said. "He has great
anticipation. Offensively, he just needs to slow down a little bit.
He’s pressing a little bit with his shot."

Brewer, a 6 foot-9 forward, was the No. 7 overall pick in June’s draft.
He wowed Wittman by running the length of the floor to block a shot
attempt against the New York Knicks. "Some of that stuff he does, you
can’t teach," Wittman said.
