Mike Trudell/Timberwolves site talked to Mike Miller after the players’  Monday workout at Target Center:
In talking to Miller, I learned a few interesting things:

1) He made 36-straight threes to conclude Monday’s workout. That’s decent…


6) One of Miller’s hardest drills is this: A three-point make is +1 and
a miss -1, and he has to get to 50. So he could make 49 in a row, miss
one and he’d need two straight makes to finish. Miss five, make five
and you’re at zero. Try that sometime with NBA threes … Or you could
dunk on Dwight Howard, out-swim Michael Phelps, beat Rafael Nadal on
clay or broker a permanent peace deal between Israel and Palestine.

 
 

The Timberwolves have collected
some nice young talent,
but there’s reason to be
concerned about the play
of SF Corey Brewer, the
No. 7 pick in the 2007
draft. Brewer had a miserable
rookie year; he averaged
5.8 points on 37.4 percent
shooting. During summer-league
play, against a far lower level of competition,
he averaged only 9.6 points on
37.0 percent shooting.
