Both Webster and Miller getting healthy will be huge.

We are a very deep team with JJ and Webster back.

This should shore up enough rest for our starters while still allowing us to find a hot hand in Webs, Wes, or Wayne each game. That's quite a few W's in our SG rotation.


This team needs all the W's it can get. :D

The back re-injury is really scary. If they can't fix it long-term he is basically done. Here's hoping the docs got it right this time.

I liked his D better at the 3 better last year, but that was with Rambis, he may be able to guard 2's under adelman's much improved system.

He doesn't bring any more to the table in terms of ballhandling/passing than wes, but if he can hit 3's at 40%+ like he did last year he will be a very nice rotation piece and ellington upgrade. You know Adelman is going to give him serious burn once he's fully healthy as he's a vet.

I could see this rotation once webby and miller are back:

Rubio/Ridnour
JJ/Webster
Beasley/Wes
Love/Williams/Tolliver
Darko/Pek/Miller/Randolph

Some decent players are going to have serious gripes about minutes.
Williams could be forced into garbage minutes only and that is kinda scary.

^ I think his handles were a pretty noticeable improvement over Wes.

Really? I thought webster's handles were pretty below average for a SG last year. Maybe they are slightly better than wes's though.

They weren't great...but he showed that he can at least get into the paint pretty easily.

Ellington deserves some burn. In games he plays over 20 minutes this season he is 19 of 33 aka .575 from the field. Not to mention he's shooting over 60% in the past two games.

While I do admire his determination to come back and play, I predict he is going to disappoint a lot of Wolves fans. Really, he wasn't that great last year where he took some questionable jumpshots, turned the ball over at a high rate, and looked off on the defensive end. We need all the help we can get on the wings, but Webster won't live up to this "hype".
