The Minnesota Timberwolves weren’t as lucky this year in the draft as the previous season
The Timberwolves did a great job two seasons ago drafting Randy Foye and Craig Smith but last summer’s draft looks like a disaster. G/F Corey Brewer was the first round pick of the Timberwolves last summer and he didn’t play well at all as a rookie. Brewer played in 79 games (35 starts) as a rookie this year and he averaged 22.8 minutes, 5.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steal per game. Brewer should have quit shooting as much as he did because he only hit 37.4% of his shots from the floor and that just won’t get it done. If Brewer wants to be anything more than a bench player he better get his act together before the start of next season.
Forward Chris Richard was the 2nd round pick of the Timberwolves but he didn’t get enough playing time to show what he can do. Richard played in 52 games (3 starts) for the Timberwolves last season and he averaged 10.7 minutes, 1.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game. Richard is a solid rebounder but he’s behind a lot of players at power forward for the T-Wolves.
