Center Al Jefferson is the team’s best player, and the offense will continue to run through him, but the Wolves will look to push the ball more, starting with Wednesday’s season opener against Sacramento.
“Last year we were definitely more of a half-court team,” Foye said. “This year we’re trying to pick it up.”
Thanks to a key offseason pickup, the Wolves also should be more of a long-distance team. With sharpshooter Mike Miller joining Foye and sixth man Rashad McCants, they have three players who shot better than 40 percent from three-point range in 2007-08.
For fans who love the long ball, those are three good reasons to like this team.

Chris Wright of the Timberwolves says the team is 1,500 tickets from selling out Wednesday’s season opener.
