Wolves Updates 08/29

Mike Trudell/Timberwolves site catches up with Fred Hoiberg (audio).
 
 
Joel Brigham/Hoopsworld includes Al Jefferson on a list of players who are "most likely to get voted for the first time onto the All-Star Team":
Forward spots in the West don’t come easy, but Al Jefferson is steadily becoming a perennial double-double beast on the block for Minnesota. The Timberwolves’ general lack of team success in recent seasons has hurt Jefferson’s All-Star stock, but after putting up over 21 points and 11 rebounds a game last year (both career highs) and still growing and improving, it can’t be long before he’s safely in perpetual All-Stardom. 
 
 

Yannis Koutroupis/Hoopsworld
gives Kevin Love an honorable mention on his "must watch rookie team":
There’s nothing like some gold old hard work to turn your doubters into believers. People have questioned how good Love would be in the NBA from day one, but thanks to his incredible work ethic he appears to be ready to be a solid pro. Alongside Al Jefferson Love will only be expected to defend, rebound, and help the flow of the offense. Hey may never be an all-star, but he will contribute significantly to the Timberwolves.
