– The T-Wolves’ other first round pick, Wayne Ellington, was also ballin’ outta control. He seems to have embraced the fact that he is going to be used primarily as just a shooter ant little else, which is a good thing. The Philly kid hit both spot up jumpers and pull-ups off the bounce. He didn’t step out of the realm of his skill set and looked like a really nice pick in the process.
A very solid outing from Jonny Flynn of the Minnesota Timberwolves finishing with 21 points, five assists, and three rebounds. He seems to get better with each game. Fellow rookie Wayne Ellington was also solid scoring 19 points and grabbing three boards. The Wolves could have a nice rookie duo next season regardless of what happens with Ricky Rubio.
“I wanted to bring him in,” Kahn said. “He did some pretty remarkable things in college.”
Kahn admits there are questions as to whether Woodside can compete at the NBA level.
“The game here is a little faster than he anticipated,” Kahn said, referring to the summer league, not the real NBA, which is warp speed compared to Las Vegas. “But he seems to be adjusting. His size is a factor. If he was a little taller, it would help him.
“The thing is, he can really shoot it, so you just can’t write this kid off. He’s a gamer.”
