I trying to prepare for my Fantasy Draft and trying to figure out who the Wolves will be starting this season ? What are you guys hearing ??

C: Al Jefferson
PF: K. Love

SF: ?? Brewer, Gomes or Wilkins ?
SG: ?? Sessions or Brewer ??
PG: ?? Flynn or Sessions ??

Thanks for the help and it has been an exciting offseason for you guys with all the trades !!

Your club is young, exciting with upside. Good Luck this season except when you play the Bulls (haha)

Thanks again,

Pax

I am hoping for Flynn/Brewer/Gomes/Love/Jefferson. Flynn, Love, and Jefferson are for sure starting. I would imagine Gomes will be the starting SF. The SG spot will probably be decided during camp and preseason.

almost certainly

al
love
gomes
brewer
flynn

with sessions getting 30+ mpg
id expect ellington around 20

I like the Flynn/Brewer/Gomes/Love/Jefferson - lineup a lot.

It might be possible that Rambis lets Sessions start from game one in the regular season and that Flynn has to prove that he is the starting point guard just like Love needed to fight for PT last season under McHale. But in contrast to McHale Rambis will be wise enough to give Flynn big minutes right from the start of the season.

This.

Not only because Flynn has to fight for his minutes as a rookie, but because Sessions has been real good in camp so far

Yeah I keep reading that Sessions has been the best guard in camp. I think he gets the start opening night.

I think there is a chance of a Flynn-Sessions-Gomes-Love-Jefferson lineup, too. If I were a betting man (which I'm not), I'd bet on Sessions-Brewer-Gomes-Love-Jefferson to start the season, though.

SnP says his right now would be Sessions/Brewer/Pavlovic/Love/Jefferson.

I seem to remember reading multiple articles saying that Flynn has been told he would be the starter.

David Kahn said recently that rookie Jonny Flynn should still be considered the starting point guard in Minnesota, despite the recent signing of Ramon Sessions.
However, Kahn also said that the decision ultimately rests with new coach Kurt Rambis and that training-camp play could change things. We still believe Sessions will open the season as the starting point guard for the Wolves.

With all the praise Flynn has got recently I doubt he will sitting on the bench when the first game starts.

I think Gomes is a lock at SF, Love at PF, and Jefferson at C.

I think Sessions will start but I'm not sure if it will be PG or SG (one of Flynn or Brewer will also start).

The thing is though that the GM doesn't determine the starting lineup, unless his name is Al Davis

^ I know it is up to Rambis, I did read the whole 3 sentences. With Jefferson and Kahn both hyping Flynn up so much I assume he has been looking great, hence why I can't imagine him not starting.

Who Will be and SHOULD BE are different things but,

Best in the camp:

Jefferson
Love
Pavlovic
Brewer
Sessions

Pavlovic has outplayed Gomes, better defender and shooter.

Flynn has been promised he will start, so he probably does, which probably makes Session primary back up at PG and SG.

Also not sure you can pair Brewer and Sessions since neither is a great three point shooter.,

Almost certainly Sessions/Brewer/Pavlovic/Love/Jefferson with Gomes and Flynn getting substantial minutes.

My guess is Flynn Brewer Gomes Love Jefferson but I could easily see Sessions or Pavlovic swapped for Brewer.

I wouldn't be shocked if Flynn was first guy off the bench.

SnP is claiming that sasha could give Gomes a run for his money as a starter.

Flynn vs Sessions
Gomes vs Pav

I guess the plus side is the depth we have.

OK, stupid question here. What is SnP?
I'm new to following the Wolves but am interested in following the team especially after the offseason acquisitions. Thanks!

SnP is Stop and Pop that writes a blog located at http://www.canishoopus.com/

Another note: Stop n Pop was at a couple of the Wolves training camp scrimmages in Mankato...
