Ryan Gomes has been shooting a lot of bricks this month as he has only hit 33.3% of his shots from the floor. His poor shooting is costing him playing time and that’s the way it should be. Gomes has played in 4 games (3 starts) so far in December and he is averaging 19.3 minutes, 5.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. The Wolves need more from Gomes or he should start riding the bench more than he has this season.

2nd year forward Craig Smith has been really good so far this month for the T-Wolves. Smith has played in 4 games (2 starts) this month and he has averaged 29.8 minutes, 13.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. He also is shooting an amazing 62.2% from the floor. Smith deserves to start for the T-Wolves because he’s definately one of there 5 best basketball players.

The Timberwolves are in 5th place in Northwest Division with a 3-15 record which has them 8.5 games behind the Jazz and Nuggets. The T-Wolves are having trouble scoring points as they are only averaging 93.3 points per game. The Wolves will have a hard time winning games unless they improve on offense.
