who will be the first to hit 50?
i find it unbelievable that noone in timberwolves history has ever scored 50 points. we have had some good scorers in the past. I also find it hard to believe that kg has never had more than 40 points. I think this may be the season where a wolf hits 50 points. i think there are 3 players that have a chance at 50 points this season, and i dont think kg will be one of them.
the first guy that comes to mind is wally szczy. "Szczy" is currently tied for the most points in a single game with 44 against the bulls. He has an incredible shooting ability. Mychal Thompson used to call szczy's mid-range shots lay-ups. He also has a little problem of putting up too many shots, but to score 50 that has got to be the best way. He did do a lot of scoring in the lakers' series. If he can stay healthy i think he has a great shot at 50.
The second is going to have to be sammy cassell. 2 S's 2 L's scored 40 points in consecutive series in game 1. His career high 40 points but the thing is is that sam can score. If he is going to be healthy and against a team with a bad point guard, you can expect a 40 point game.
The last guy is going to be surprisingly troy hudson. The guy has been injured but you can't say t.hud isn't a scoring point guard. If you recall the one game he started last year, it was in a huge game against the nets. Both teams were really hot and the nets were on that huge winning streak when they hired that hobbit as a coach. The wolves came off a game the night before against the bucks. Cassell couldn't walk after the bucks game. Troy hudson decided to end the nets win streak and drop 27 points. More chances against worse teams could get him a lucky 50 points.
Now if it isnt this season that someone doesnt score 50 points, i think kg or a way future draft pick does it. I think the 3 above are the only ones in my eyes that have a realistic chance at 50.
The first thing i check when we get a new player is what is their career high in scoring? Correct me if i am wrong but there has never been a player who spent some kind of time with the wolves and ever scored 50 points. Spree had 49 in one game once, that is the most any player that has played for the woolves has scored.The real question is, who do you think will be the first to score 50 in timberwolves' franchise history.
