The Minnesota Timberwolves selected 21-year old small forward Luke Babbitt out of Nevada and then they traded him along with 27-year old forward Ryan Gomes for 23-year old small forward Martell Webster. Gomes played in 76 games (64 starts) for the T-Wolves last season and he averaged 29.1 minutes, 10.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. Gomes played in 240 games (214 starts) in his three years in Minnesota and he averaged 30.2 minutes, 12.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. Martell Webster is a player on the rise. He played in 82 games (49 starts) for the Blazers last season and he averaged 24.5 minutes, 9.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. Webster has now played in 301 games (164 starts) in his five years in the NBA and he is averaging 23.2 minutes, 8.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. Webster probably has the highest upside of the three players involved in this trade but the T-Wolves gave up a bit to get him.
