\nCraig Smith checks in from training camp in Istanbul <\/a>via a diary on the team’s site.  \n<\/div>\n
\nSo, an hour later, we got to practice. Unfortunately, I’m
\nunable to participate because of my ankle (which looks really good and I might be back sooner than I thought).<\/b>
\nStill, guys look good fighting through the jetlag and the 110-degree
\ngym. We finished practice, came back to the hotel, and I decided to
\ntake a swim. The pool is open 24 hours and it’s right next to the bay
\nwater (which you shouldn’t try alone because it can be a little scary).
\nSince I am the Rhino, I took a swim and that put me straight to sleep.
\nThe second day came and went so fast. We have double sessions today and
\nthere were, no joke, guys dying out there giving it all they had, and
\nI’m on the sideline riding a bike. <\/i>\n<\/div>\n

\nRicky Davis on being in Turkey:<\/a>\n<\/div>\n
\n"It’s a fun place," shooting guard Ricky Davis said.<\/i>\n<\/div>\n
\n \n<\/div>\n
\nDavis, entering his 10th year in the league, has seen his name
\ncirculated in trade rumors as the Wolves continue to mold their roster
\nfor the regular season. But he’s a true veteran on a team featuring
\nnine players who are age 25 or younger.<\/i>\n<\/div>\n
\n \n<\/div>\n
\n"I’m going to go out and be the leader and be the guy they need," Davis said.<\/i>\n<\/div>\n
\n \n<\/div>\n
\n \n<\/div>\n
\nThe Timberwolves site<\/a> posts a transcript of a conference call from Coach Wittman in which he talks about training camp thus far. On Craig Smith’s ankle injury, Wittman says:\n<\/div>\n
\nHe’s a lot farther along from where I though he’d be after he turned
\nhis ankle. I don’t really anticipate him (playing over here). <\/i>\n<\/div>\n
\n \n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n \n<\/div>\n
\nMarc Stein\/ESPN <\/a> has the Wolves dead last in his first power rankings of the season. The Celtics come in at #2.   \n<\/div>\n
\nYou suspect that Mr. McHale won’t mind starting Life After KG with what
\nhas to be the most faraway training camp in NBA history. Can’t imagine
\nhe’ll encounter too many disgruntled Wolves fans in Turkey.<\/i>\n<\/div>\n
