Wolves Updates 4/10 Part 2

In all seriousness, I’m not certain giving Brewer any more burn in
these final four games is a good idea. Better just to let him keep
practing and then proscribe an off-season diet of milkshakes, bench
presses, squats and cheeseburgers along with a daily diet of about
10,000 jump shots. The boll weavils have infested his confidence and it
will take a few months to clean them away.
 
 
 
The Portsmouth Invitational Tournament kicked off today at Churchland High School in Portsmouth, Virginia.  The high school gym was teeming with NBA General Managers, scouts, media members, and local hoop fans.  There were scouts from all over the world representing many leagues from many nations.
 
Larry Bird, Danny Ainge, and Kevin McHale were among the General Managers seated right behind one of the baskets.   
 
 
 

About 20 NBA scouts packed the gym on Wednesday for the international practices in Portland for the Nike Hoop Summit. Recognizable names in attendance included Fred Hoiberg and Jim Stack of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Gersson Rosas of the Houston Rockets, Tommy Sheppard from the Washington Wizards, and Michael Born of the Portland TrailBlazers.
 
 
 
 
Sebastian Telfair on his progress this year:
“For myself personally, I feel like I established
myself as a point guard this year. I take a lot of pride in that
because I was consistently getting guys open shots and being a point
guard every game. I take pride in that and have to give myself a little
pat on the back for that, but as a team, the way we’ve matured as a
team from the beginning of the season to right now, we’re a completely
different team.”
 
Translation: This is about the corniest thing I
could possibly say to a reporter about my season, and the T-Wolves as a
whole. And that’s not me. I’m so real they named a sex position after
my crossover. But I mean every word of this, and at this point in my
chaotic career, that feels f*cking fantastic. This is my very own “Star
Spangled Banner.”
