Nice. A little sooner than I expected.

First unit starts Ridnour and runs the triangle.

Second unit brings Pek/Flynn in for Darko/Ridnour and do a traditional Pick/Role with them.

Just an interesting idea.

Good news.

I'm telling y'all -- he's going to be good this year. Much better than anyone thinks.

Actually that is a good thought. Pek has the best body in the NBA for setting screens, but needs to learn not to set moving screens.

I'd like to agree with you, but after missing training camp I just don't see it. It's a bummer because we've gone over his month-by-month improvements on these boards showing how much better he'll be,...but without that training camp I don't know if we'll see it (maybe in January at the earliest).

I think just being able to watch, learn and listen during practices is going to have helped him a lot. No Jefferson around is going to help him a lot too.

I agree with you Krap, I think seeing things from a different perspective will benefit him this season. Probably wont happen immediately but I think over the coarse of the season we will see him consistently improve. Also, the revamped roster from a year ago will help as well.

Good to see Flynn back, earlier then I think anyone expected.

• Jonny Flynn accompanied the team on this three-game road trip and is expected to try to practice fully with the team Monday in Miami for the first time. He was cleared last Monday by his hip surgeon to practice lightly for a week before resuming full contact.

Full contact practice already? Man, he must be progressing well. Good news.

Definitely good news. I'm excited to see what he could do for this team

This means no more Seabass soon, i'm hype!

Anxious to see him get in there. A bit torn though because i've been digging Ridnour with the starters.

Does Flynn "earn" his way into the the starting 5, or is it his from the get?

Post #16 » by **C.lupus** » Sun Oct 31, 2010 2:38 pm

Hopefully he will have to earn the starting spot. A second unit of Flynn-Webster-Johnson-Tolliver-Pekovic would be fun to watch.

Devilzsidewalk · Post #17 » by **Devilzsidewalk** » Sun Oct 31, 2010 3:27 pm

Wolves need all the help they can get, my standards are such that I just hope he's not a total massacre on the court. In recent history it seems that once a young player we like has his little early career injury, they become so disappointing we can practically release them on the spot.

Or even Brewer/Lazar in place of Johnson (who should be starting).
