No doubt KAT is working just as hard. I suspect Wiggins, Bazz, Ricky and Belly are too. We know that Wiggins turned down playing for team Canada to prepare for the upcoming season. Belly's been working g out hard at the Wolves practice facility so far this summer.

Don't underestimate the improvement we see in these guys from their work this offseason.

1. I want that machine.
2. Thank goodness players from the other 29 teams haven't figured out the Wolves' secret to player development/improvement. Shhhhhh...



[Note: In all honesty, it's good to see LaVine working. And hopefully, it's the right kind of work. I remember one of the reasons I was initially pessimistic about him was an article that described him practicing dunks and emulating shots of other players in countless hours of practice or something like that. I remember thinking... "practice being you and practice the shots you're going to need to make in games instead." I'm much more confident that now that he's got a taste of the NBA and even a hint of success... he's doing just that.]

I love that guys work ethic.

I will be pissed if LaVine is traded.

I found one that swivels so it can pass to 5 different spots for $4800. Brad Stevens and Steve Alford are paid spokesmen. Found another one where one of the Spokesmen is Brian Cosgriff from Hopkins High School. So the secret is out. Besides, I don't know that a team that employs BlondeRicky should be bragging about the tools it uses to teach shooting technique.

Two more things.
1. I don't like that drill where he's bent over pushing that box. It teaches him to run hunched over rather than tall. I like the one where he's dragging the plate better.
2. When you type "Basketball Rebounding Machine" into amazon, one of your 23 choices is a game-worn Bo Outlaw Magic warm-up jersey. Good rebounder, but hardly qualifies as "Machine". I'm tempted, though. Always one of my favorite Magic players (Magicians?).

I would pay money for a Bo Outlaw jersey. No lie.

I don't own any jerseys though. Other than the Bo Outlaw one... a Chris Mullin one would be on my wish list.




[Note: Fingers crossed for Christmas.]

You're tempting me, Salvatore Tessio. Just bought running shoes. Maybe I'll check back in a month to see if it's there.

I love how that machine right before it spits out another basketball sounds like any kitchen microwave telling you "YOUR MEAL IS READY".
