I think the Wolves should play Foye as many minutes as possible, PG and
SG, and see what happens. Like the 81 twins. Put the kid in, and let
him learn on the job. Talent is talent, and he learns little on the
bench.

Free Justin Reed, give him some of Blounts minutes. He has a much
better chance of getting a rebound than poor Mark Blount. I honestly
think Blounts problem is the speed of the synapses that send the signal
from his brain to his hands and feet. It's not that he doesn't WANT to
rebound, he just can't play to the speed of the game. He's hopeless. He
has got to be the most one dimensional basketball player I've ever seen.

YES. Make that boy a PG. Sack Troy.

Possibly. I haven't seen the last game yet (and probably
won't) but I thought I saw continued improvement in Mark's
play - certainly over last year. I was actually starting to believe
in the man. And hey, WANTING the rebound is the main key to
getting the rebound, and it didn't look like he even wanted one
last year. But there's no way Reed, an undersized PF can
replace Blount at C.

I think it's EddieG who is one dimensional. I hope that
Casey continues to pull him off the floor every time he claps for
the ball at the 3-pt. line. That's the wrong dimension for Eddie.
If he plays underneath, he can be effective. But when he goes
into 3pt-shootist mode, his inside game goes to hell. I'm trying
to say that Eddie seems to only be able to handle one facet of
the game at a time.

Sadly I think you're right. I suggested a shock collar last year for
his 3 point shooting.
Maybe beer flavored treates for each block or rebound.

Maybe they can give Eddie a free porn CD every time he gets a Rebound
or block but if he shoots a three they take one away.
