Which TWolves will surprise this year?

It is going to be interesting to see what Kevins new body is like. Will it hinder or improve his rebounding? Will his rebounding numbers go down but his other defensive numbers improve due to the extra quickness he should have laterally?

I doubt his rebounding goes down, probably up. Most of his rebounding comes from just knowing where the ball is going to come off, and he's sooooooo wide (and not from being husky, he's just a big boy) I think being a little lighter and a little stronger and he might be able to pull a few more down by being a little more explosive and quick on his feet.

Will he be stronger though? He might be pushed around alittle easier. Although I don't see his numbers going too far down.

Rodman never really had that problem, and he played at 210-220.

Adelmans's system and lineup will have more impact (on Love's numbers) than anything Love has done over the summer. Is Love actually going to be a better rebounder? I'll say he's going to perform at about the same level.

I agree. I think his rebounding numbers will actually be down a little from last year based on the fact that our offensive will be better thus creating less opportunities.

Alas, our defence should be better too creating more opportunities down the defensive end.

Who knows. I hope he averages 50+

[Klomp]

I'm guessing he'll average 18/13

I'm not sure smart and Webster go together, either.

I've never gotten the impression he was dumb. Always sounds smart and doesn't makes stupid plays all the time.

I'm not trying to say Webster's a stupid person off the court, just that he does some stupid things on the court. Some forced efforts into trouble off the bounce, some pass attempts that really isn't there, some stupid touch fouls on fast break lay ups, etc. Nothing that can't be fixed, I just haven't seen any reason to call him a smart player.

The problem I see sometimes with Webster is that he thinks he's a step quicker than he really is.
