But Walker, obtained by the Timberwolves in a trade with Miami just before the season started, is confused.
“I don’t know what I’m doing, I have no idea what my role is,” Walker
said after Monday’s practice. “I wish somebody would come tell me. It’s
kind of hard to put it into words. I don’t know what I’m doing here.”

He’s also not used to running as many scripted plays
as he does in the NBA. The process can be overwhelming at times because
the players still don’t have a good feel for one another.

Wolves Watch on Coach Wittman.
Eric Pincus/Hoopsworld chats with Ryan Gomes. On what the team needs to do to get their first win, Gomes responds:
Limit our fouls. If you look at the statistics of the games that we have lost, teams have been shooting on average 20+ free throws more than we have. You can’t give a team 20 extra attempts at a free throw. In this league teams are shooting on average probably 70%. You’re saying at least 12-13 ppg and we’re losing these games by six, five or eight points. We can’t let that happen. We’re playing well with turnovers, keeping it low. Our field goal percentage is pretty good also. It’s the ticky-tack fouls that we commit that gives other teams chances for free points.
