The Minnesota Timberwolves fanbase went into the 2010 NBA draft with very high expectations. Of course, if your team won 15 games the previous season, and you had the 4th, 16th and ...
If Wolves Don’t Nabb Evan Turner, Demarcus Cousins Is Next Best Choice
Posted: 25th May 2010 by Timber Wolf in NBA

Timber-Wolf: Should Wolves Fans Write Off Big Al Jefferson?
Posted: 10th May 2010 by Timber Wolf in NBA
For what it's worth, Al Jefferson is No. 9 in Wolves all-time scoring, and No. 4 in Wolves all-time rebounding.
Also for what it's worth, there was one year were Al Jefferson struck fear into opposing defenses with his old school post up moves that rivaled the likes of Kevin McHale's 23 points, 11 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks were the norm for the all-star caliber player. Being a legit 6'10'', with ...
This needs to be discussed before lottery day.
On everyone's draft board, there are two franchise caliber players that are supposed to go one and two, John Wall and Evan Turner.
