I think the guys with the most to prove are Richard and McCants. Richard is going to have to work hard for a spot and McCants is going to need to show he can play. I think this year will make or break McCants. McCants has not shown that he can play in the summer leagues, but has shown promise. I do doubt Foye, McCants, and Smith will play a lot.

I am also interested to see how Cleaves and Luke Anderson play.

Thoughts? This should be interesting...

Ryan Bowen & Mateen Cleaves? HAH!

very interesting summer league this year, i think we're one of the best teams here, and we'll be able to see the new gators in action, even when the SL is not the same that NBA, hope that foye keeps the good level from last year

I hope Ryan Bowen will not last long into the regular season.

I doubt Foye and Smith even get minutes.... But it would be funny if our starting lineup ever game was

PG-Foye
SG- McCants
SF-Brewer
PF-Smith
C-Richard

That is the lineup I would love to see... Still, I really miss the days when the summer leagues were here in minnesota. I used to love bothering Ebi, Rickert, and McCants lol.

Well, no surprise there. The Wolves are known to invite those locals over the last few years to the summer league.

Skita and Bracey Wright are both on the Nuggets summer league team... I won't be surprised if Bracey goes off. I wish he would of played us, he would of killed us.... I think.

Our entire organization is full of Minnesota alum. No wonder we stink, we decided to hitch our wagon to one of the nation's worst college basketball programs.

According to twolves.com, McCants has actually asked to play in the summer league. I guess he is really hungry to prove himself to the league.
