8 Jan 11 Keys to the Wolf Den: Positives from the Minnesota Timberwolves Season

Christian Petersen/Getty Images(long sigh...)Ok, this season is filled with losses, lost effort, horrible defense, and poor offensive execution.What is there to take positive from this season?David Kahn, the Minnesota Timberwolves proved one thing, he means what he says.Although all the offers, David Kahn has kept his Cincinnati Bengals jersey
word by not trading any of his core players, and using this season to evaluate the players that he has before trading them.While David Kahn has evaluated his players, I as a Wolves fan/writer has done the same thing, and I've come up with some positive things to take into next season.First off, the basics:Lottery pick (1-4), the 17th pick, and the 24th pick for the 2010 NBA draft. The 14th and 16th pick in the second round. Kevin Love, Corey Brewer and Wayne Ellington all made significant strides. Cap space. Nikola Pekovic. Known as possibly the best Euro center is ready to come to the Timberwolves.Let's get into some detailed positives:Corey Brewer's dunk over Derek Fisher , and his dunk over Robin Lopez. Corey Brewer's 33 straight consecutive games with at least one three-point shot and counting. Cleveland Browns jersey
Wayne Ellington's efficiency. In Oct and Nov, Ellington shot 30 percent from the field, and 26 percent from the three-point line. In February and March, Ellington is shooting 48 percent from the field and close to 60 percent from the three-point line. Wayne Ellington is going to be a sharpshooting role player. Al Jefferson passing out of the double team, and tying his career high 6 assists in a game. Jonny Flynn can score the basketball despite his size. Kevin Love rebounding the basketball with the best in the league and showing the edge to score from anywhere on the court. Kevin Love's outlet passing has become a signature dish. Corey Brewer's potential doubled on this season's flashes alone. Ryan Hollins posterizes Andray Blatche , and everyone else in the league. Corey Brewer's buzzer beater and Dallas Cowboys jersey
this one also, not too shabby . Darko Millicic showing some insight as to how the Wolves should go in drafting or signing a center. Victories over the Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz away from home.Did I miss any?Thanks for reading!P.S- This team would love Evan Turner and Hassan Whiteside right now.
