The Timberwolves are having an awful season but you can’t blame that on Craig Smith or Rashad McCants. Craig Smith was a 2nd round pick last season by the T-Wolves but he’s playing like a 1st rounder. Smith has played in 31 games this season for the Timberwolves and he is averaging 22.7 minutes, 11.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. Smith is also shooting 54.8% from the floor this season. Smith should start to get even more playing time as he is a big part of the future of the T-Wolves. Rashad McCants finally appears healthy after missing most of last season with a knee injury and he’s showing why the Wolves drafted him in the first round a couple of seasons ago. He has played in 28 games for the T-Wolves this season and he is averaging 27.0 minutes, 14.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. He is also shooting an outstanding 40.8% from the three point line 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.

Al Jefferson was the centerpiece of the Kevin Garnett trade and he hasn’t disappointed this season. Jefferson has played in 13 games this season for the T-Wolves and he has averaged 36.5 minutes, 20.7 points, 11.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 blocks per game. He also has shot the ball very well for the Wolves as he has hit 52.5% from the floor and 74.5% from the free throw line this season. Jefferson has the potential to get even better and that has Wolves fans and the front office happy.

Kevin Garnett is the greatest player in the history of the Timberwolves and he played his heart out last year.

Craig Smith has really played well the last two weeks for the T-Wolves.
