Can't wait for next season, Foye and Big Al together for a full season.

cause Foye is the most overrated player to never do anything to begin with.

And if he is supposed to be the hope or the build it and they will come the wolves are in for more and more dissapointments

Haha this board hates randy foye, seems like most of you want him traded for a mid-first rounder in the next draft.

No, I think most of us love him and think he exceeded expectations last season post-injury.

Probably not most, it just seems like there is a lot of hate for him among some Wolves fans. He's my favorite player in the league behind Kobe, I have faith in him.

I have a lot more faith in Foye than I do in McCants.

I think there are a few malcontents, mostly people that are bitter about trading Roy. Most of us are eager to see what Foye can do in a full season. If the latter part of this past season is any indication, things are looking up.

I don't hate Foye. I was extremely excited we took Brandon Roy, and was ready to jump off a bridge when we traded him for Foye. But shortly after I came to terms with it and am pulling for him to succeed.

I hope we see his career take off like the 2nd half of this season showed it could. I'd love for us to pair someone like Mayo with him, a shooting guard who can pass the ball, play defense, and score. It's a shame we couldn't pair Foye and Roy together. :-)

To me, this is the make-or-break year for Randy Foye. Even great players rarely come out of college and can be a starting PG at the NBA level. Deron Williams is doing great now, but remember his rookie season? Foye had less experience at PG than Deron did, plus he lost a huge chunk of the season to injury.

As people have often repeated, even as a rookie, Foye put up near identical per minutes to Roy. Its hard to be patient, but we've all seen glimpses of the upside. Next season is when we will find out if its a mirage.

Foye probably will never be better than Roy, but Foye will be pretty damn good.

I agree with you. I expect a quasi breakout season from Foye if indeed the Wolves don't get a chance to select Rose. Last year Roy won the " Do you know me now" award. I think if he doesn't show signs of at least being a star you have to consider trading him for another player or a future pick at the trade deadline. I mean Antonio Daniels at least in my opinion kinda resembles his type of game when he came into the NBA. He was stuck in between positions. He was a top pick but never reached the star label that you somewhat expected to be when you are drafted high.

I expected a breakout season before he got injured. Judging by how he played in the last month of the season, I think it would have happened.

As long as he doesn't have further injury issues, he will be a star in this league.
