Wolves Updates 3/31

Souksangouane Phengsene, the man convicted of and imprisoned for
criminal vehicular homicide after killing Minnesota Timberwolves player
Malik Sealy in a 2000 crash, has been jailed once again on suspicion of
driving while under the influence.
 
 
 
In his pregame address to local media, Wolves head coach Randy Wittman
said that Sebastian Telfair may not play for the remainder of the
season (10 games).
 

"We’ll see if Sebastian even comes back, he said. "We only have two and a half weeks left."
 
 
 
Rick Bonnell/Charlotte Observer lists Al Jefferson as this season’s most improved player.
Memphis’ Rudy Gay would be my second choice. Yes, these two are running
up big numbers on bad teams and that can be misleading. But each one
defines the term "emerging young star” and that’s what I look for
under most improved. (Now, if Jefferson wants to take the next step,
it’s time to apply himself as a defender.)
 
 
 
Now that he is 100 percent healthy for the first time in a long time, Rashad McCants is proving what a wise first-round draft choice he was for the Timberwolves in 2005. McCants shot 6-for-10 from the floor in scoring 16 points in Sunday’s 110-103 victory over the playoff-bound Utah Jazz, and 13 of those points were scored in the second half. … The Wolves finished the month of March with a 7-8 record and have won four consecutive home games, which is good for the team’s record but hurts their chances at getting a top-three pick in the 2008 draft lottery. 
 
 
 
Wittman wants his point guards to control more of
the game because he believes that’s important. Right now, the focus
falls on Randy Foye because fellow point guard Sebastian Telfair is out
with an ankle injury.
 
Also from Alonzo:
Wolves rookie Corey Brewer said he plans to sponsor
an AAU team coached by former Wolves player Richard Coffey, who starred
at the University of Minnesota.
