Wolves Updates 6/18

Michael Rand/Star Tribune plays golf with Corey Brewer and has the player read a scene from "The Notebook" (video). 
 
 
The Vikings might be done with offseason workouts but Adrian
Peterson is staying busy. The running back hosted a dinner on Sunday
and golf tournament on Monday in order to raise money for his All Day
Foundation. The dinner featured both a silent and a live auction.
 
The live auction featured plenty of big-ticket items, including a
dinner for four at Peterson’s home. So what lucky fan is going to get a
chance to impress friends by taking them to Peterson’s house? None
other than Timberwolves guard Rashad McCants, who bid $2,500 for the
right.
 
 
 
The Wolves are thinking hard about ex-Southern California guard O.J.
Mayo, whom they’re scheduled to work out in Chicago on Saturday. But
they’ll also take a second look at Stanford’s Brook Lopez in Los
Angeles on Friday. Assuming there are no trade shake-ups at the top of
the board and Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley are taken with the first
two selections as most analysts expect, the Wolves could have a choice
to make between Mayo or a big man.
 
One of the NBA’s true greats in the paint, McHale can’t hide his
fondness for guys who can play around the basket. Reflecting on Game 6
of the finals to be played later Tuesday night, McHale smiled about the
offensive evolution from the post to the perimeter and the decreased
need for old-fashioned big men.
