No More Theus?
Ray Richardson, Pioneer Press reports Reggie Theus may be leaving the Wolves for a more talented squad: An NCAA team?
Theus said he was unaware of which schools had expressed interest in him. He said he plans to talk with his agent, Lon Rose, who had received the inquiries.
“Right now I don’t know anything,” Theus said. “All I know is what I’ve heard from other people.”
The Chicago Tribune reported that DePaul, which has a coaching vacancy, had confirmed that it would interview Theus today.
In honor of Theus, here is a link to the Hang Time Wikipedia page.
Zgoda’s Take
Jerry Z posts his take on the situation, and also runs down the biggest Wolves news in ages: Nate “The Grape” Jawai has been sent to the D-League where he will attempt to shatter his D-League average of 6.0 points per game.
Seldom-used backup center Nathan Jawai was sent to the Sioux Falls Skyforce, the Wolves’ Development League affiliate. The Wolves sent the 6-foot-10 Jawai to Sioux Falls for a two-game assignment in February.
Rambis said the move was made to give Jawai playing time. The Australian native spent five consecutive games on the bench before being reassigned.
“We think he’s an intriguing player because of his size,” Rambis said of Jawai. “He needs to play.”
Oh That’s Right, the Wolves won last night
Jerry Z’s game recap. Darko had a fantastic game: 15 points, 10 rebounds and 4 blocks. The 15-game losing streak has been snapped, and unfortunately we do not get to chuckle about a winless March for the Wolves.
The Wolves used their size advantage — that’s right, Jefferson, Darko Milicic and Kevin Love all produced double-double games — to outrebound Sacramento 46-33 and build a 20-point lead with eight minutes to play.
But they, almost right on cue, nearly gave it all back, allowing the Kings a 16-2 run that chopped their lead to just six points with a little more than three minutes remaining.

Rookie Points Making Impact
Jerry Zgoda was busy last night. Posts a write-up on the impact rookie point guards are having this year. Jonny Flynn is nowhere to be found.
Ten point guards — 11 if you count Sacramento`s 6-6 hybrid Tyreke Evans — were chosen among the draft`s first 25 picks.
Evans and Golden State`s Stephen Curry are the favorites for Rookie of the Year and steaming toward stardom.
Milwaukee`s Brandon Jennings scored 55 points only seven games into his career and has helped the upstart Bucks fuel the season`s best battle cry: Fear the Deer.
