Wolves to Hold Free-Agent Workouts

UPDATE: June 1, 2011 9:30pmCT.  Along with Hunter & Douby, the TWolves will also be working out Orien Greene, J.R. Giddens, Cedric Jackson, Matt Janning, Alexander Johnson, Jerel McNeal, James Singleton, John Thomas, Matt Bouldin, DeShawn Sims, Darius Washington Jr., James Mays and Chris Daniels.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are holding free-agent workouts this Thursday & Friday at the Target Center in Minneapolis Minnesota.  

Among a crop of 15-some players, the Wolves are bringing in: center Steven Hunter and point guard Quincy Douby.

Douby would likely serve as a deep reserve in the backcourt, since it’s expected that free agent Sebastian Telfair won’t be back with the squad next year.  Douby hasn’t played since the ‘08-‘09 season, but in his three-year career he’s averaged 4.1ppg & 0.7apg in 10.7mpg.

Hunter would likely be another deep reserve in the frontcourt behind Darko Milicic & Nikola Pekovic.  Hunter hasn’t played since the ‘09-‘10 season with the Grizzlies.  However, in his 8-year career he’s been a bit of an NBA journeyman playing for 5 different teams (Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns, Philadelphia 76ers, Denver Nuggets & Memphis Grizzlies).  In his NBA career he’s averaged 4.5ppg, 3.2rpg & 1.1bpg in 15mpg.

We’ll have more for you after the workouts are held, on who stood out and who has a chance at joining the Wolves for the ‘11-‘12 campaign.  Thanks for reading and GO WOLVES!
