Not at all. Just like every game this year we are going to be watching the progress of the youngsters. I'll especially be watching Brewer & Gomes try and contain Melo & AI.

Sure hope so, id like to see Telfair getting some decent minutes at the start of the season... see if he can actually be relied upon or if its a position we need to look at filling in the future.
SE Division GM Draft C Dwight Howard/David Harrison PF Ike Diogu/Tyrus Thomas SF Luol Deng/Gerald Green/Adrian Griffin SG Josh Howard/Tony Allen PG Eric Snow/Leandro Barbosa/Lindsey Hunter

I can imagine it, though I wouldn't expect it. I don't expect either to turn into anything special, with Telfair probably flaming out due to attitude issues in a few years.
It seems pretty obvious now that the Wolves aren't going to start Jefferson at center, which is a shame. That means you got Jefferson, Gomes, and Smith all battling for PF minutes (with Gomes playing some at SF as well), which basically means neither Gomes or Smith will get the 25-30mpg they shoud be getting.
On the other hand, there is no way that Brewer is a good enough ball handler to play SG. So he'll either start SF or be on the bench behind Gomes. Even though both McCants and Green suck at this point, might as well start one of them at the 2 guard.
On a positive note, Green is pretty terrific in NBA2K8. Easily our second best player behind Jefferson.

Till Brewer get's used to the NBA game I would bring him off the bench. His flexibility would be so useful. He is actually a be
