Kahn Interview with Dan Barriero<\/strong><\/p>\n Follow the link in our forums\u00a0here<\/a>. Also do feel free to register with us and comment on that and other topics. Any interview between Barriero and Kahn is good, but this one was surprisingly short. It’s encouraging to hear Kahn does not appear against absorbing a bad contract in order to really move ahead in terms of personnel. While I may not agree with that at its extreme, this is quite encouraging to hear as a fan.<\/p>\n Need some new Draft Material?<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out this well written blog, NBA Draft Blog<\/a>, which breaks down several players and abilities in detail. They discuss a lot of “non-high profile” guys which is great for those of us who don’t follow the NCAA religiously.<\/p>\n Rumor: Rudy Fernandez and the #22 for the #16?<\/strong><\/p>\n A linkless, speculative\u00a0forum post at RealGM<\/a> met with surprisingly negative responses. Post-worthy still. I have read a few comments at a few other Wolves-sites-that-shall-not-be-named clamoring for a Fernandez\/Batum for the 4th pick deal as a great trade for us. I personally would have a spontaneous bowel movement if that happened. As for the trade above, a decent move I’d say. I worry though becuase Rudy seems unhappy in the NBA and I don’t want to miss out on a guy like Paul George, who might have more upside than Rudy. Either way, Fernandez here doesn’t exactly hurt our chances of getting Rubio over here…someday….<\/p>\n In Case You Missed It<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out a recap of Tuesday Draft workouts here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Your Daily Rubio Goodness.\u00a0 ENJOY:<\/strong><\/p>\n \n[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6nVCxRXqeUo&hl=en_US&fs=1&]\n Harangody!<\/strong><\/p>\n A recap<\/a> of today’s workouts, including the all-but-perfect future Wolf Luke Harangody<\/p>\n Question: How did the workout go today?\u00a0 Question: We heard you took a little dive into the seats today…\u00a0 Question: Do you feel like you have to change your game a bit for the NBA?\u00a0 Question: How is your three-point shooting now?\u00a0 I hate to say it, but I wouldn’t be opposed to drafting him in the 2nd round if available. Primarily to replace Cardinal as the chief source of comic relief on the roster. However, the guy can flat out shoot and score. I see him as a Ryan Anderson type role-player in the future. \u00a0Also an interview with Scottie Reynolds (no relation).<\/p>\n Star Tribune Writeup on Charles Garcia\/Wolves Updates<\/strong><\/p>\n A good feature<\/a> on a lesser known workout invitee.<\/p>\n That he feels overlooked is understandable. How many times did Seattle University, where Garcia averaged 18.7 points and 8.3 rebounds, appear on national TV? How many games did the Redhawks win in the NCAA tournament? How big of a ripple did his 41-point eruption against Wofford create?<\/em><\/p>\n Exactly. Zero<\/em><\/p>\n Also within:<\/p>\n Kahn and Wolves coach Kurt Rambis left Wednesday night for Europe, where they will watch guard Ricky Rubio and center Nikola Pekovic play twice apiece next week. They also will visit free agent Darko Milicic, who has said he hopes to re-sign with the Wolves next season.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Ford’s Latest Mock has 76ers taking Favors at 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n Ford continues to shift things around just to get people talking, which should come as no surprise.<\/p>\n
Harangody: “It was a great workout, it was a good group of guys. Very intense and physical, just what you would expect from one of these. I’ve been through this process before so I’m used to it by now.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harangody: “Yeah (laughs), it gets physical in here and people are trying to get a job so anything goes now…I’m going to be that energy guy, come into these workouts and just do the dirty work and hopefully do the same thing next year.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harangody: “Yeah, I’m not going to be the same player that I was in college, there’s going to be a lot of things I have to change up, catching on the perimeter and facing up, things like that.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harangody: “I’m trying to step out a little bit more, shooting the NBA-three more as the weeks go by and just be more comfortable shooting out there.” <\/em><\/p>\n
