Ramon Sessions is wasting away on the Timberwolves’ bench and he’s way too talented to be stuck there. With that in mind the T-Wolves have a very nice trade chip who could bring them back potentially a first round pick and a lesser played. Sessions has played in 31 games (0 starts) for the T-Wolves this season and he is averaging 21.5 minutes, 8.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. If the Timberwolves were on the fringe of being a playoff team I think it would be smart to keep him. But, with him playing behind Jonny Flynn and being too small to team with him in the backcourt I think a trade makes the most sense.

The Timberwolves outrebounded the Suns 50-40 last night but it didn’t matter as the Suns shot a sizzling 54.3% from the floor. Al Jefferson had an outstanding game for the T-Wolves with 27 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocked shots. Rashad McCants also had a good game with 19 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Craig Smith had an outstanding game off of the bench as he scored 16 points and grabbed 3 rebounds in only 22 minutes on the court. The Timberwolves fell to a woeful 5-33 record with this loss.

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.

First round pick Corey Brewer is having trouble adjusting to the NBA as he’s only shooting 31.3% from the floor and that could find him a seat on the bench soon. In his first 14 games Brewer averaged 18.1 minutes, 4.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. Despite the T-Wolves being in a rebuilding mode they can’t play Brewer much until he deserves the time due to his play on the court.

The Timberwolves expected much more than what they’re getting from him.
