So I did what I do whenever I meet someone new and want to give them a chance to be my friend: I researched them on the internet, hardcore. I read player page after player page and bio page after bio page and unearthed a list of stats that you need to know about each player on the Minnesota Timberwolves. We’ll start with stats for two guys that most Timberwolves fans are real geeked about; Al Jefferson and Corey Brewer. Now, these are not the typical crappy NBA style 6-8, 205 lbs 13 rebounds a game type of stats. These are real stats. These are important stats. These are:
The REAL IMPORTANT stats
Al Jefferson:
They grow ’em big in Mississippi. (pronounced Meh-sipy by the locals) At 6-10, 256 lbs Al Jefferson is a grown man. Am I impressed that he averaged 42, 16, and 9 in highschool? No, sir. Am I impressed that he was the first highschooler ever drafted by the Celtics? Nah. You know what impresses me about Al Jefferson?

Corey Brewer:
What’s the most impressive thing about Corey Brewer? His back to back NCAA Championships? Nope. His being named the 2007 Final Four Most outstanding player? Try again. His being named to the 1st team all SEC in his Junior year? Not even close. Need some help guessing? Here’s a hint: it’s his baby afro.

After reading those stats who could logically argue that the Timberwolves are a lock to win the title next year? Nobody, that’s who. Check back next week for The REAL IMPORTANT stats on Marco Jaric, Sebastian Telfair, and more on Corey Brewer’s baby afro.
