Foye is averaging 16.4 points and 4.4 assists, but it’s been tough for him lately, especially now that center Al Jefferson is out for the season with a knee injury.
“When you move up to being one or two on the scouting report, teams do play you a little differently,” Timberwolves coach Kevin McHale said. “If they take away A, you’ve got to do B. If they take away A and B, then you’ve got to do C.”
Foye is trying to adjust.
“It’s been tough because I’m not used to it,” Foye said. “It’s a challenge for me and I love challenges. I’ve got to pull out more things in my game. I just can’t use the dribble attack or pull-up jump shots. I have to use screens better, I have to recognize certain situations and I have to use my teammates better.”

But Foye doesn’t just help fund projects.
He personally assists with and attends events such as yesterday’s meet and greet with fans prior to the game. Foye posed for pictures, signed autographs and even hugged some of the fans who purchased tickets through his foundation. Every handshake was met with a smile.

At Izod Arena, home of the Nets, Foye arranged for two school-bus-loads of Newark public school honor students to attend the game.
Foye got a chance to visit with his old friends and coach Jay Wright since he and his new teammates were in town Wednesday night to welcome the Sixers home from a five-game western road trip.
“The NBA is just so many games,” said Foye. “The college atmosphere through the whole season, because it’s only 32 games, is like the playoffs of the NBA. With the college season, it’s less games, so the crowd is more into it.”

It was just three years ago that Foye, Allan Ray, Curtis Sumpter and Jason Fraser led the Wildcats into the Elite Eight, where they lost to eventual champion Florida.
The Wildcats are in Boston for tonight’s East Regional semifinal against Duke.
“I’m really happy for them,” said Foye, who watched the second half of the Wildcats’ second-round blowout of UCLA on Saturday. “It’s just fun to watch them because they have grown from boys to men. I’m hoping and praying that they keep playing well, and playing together.”
