NO. 42 VIN BAKER

Pos.: F Ht.: 6-11 Wt.: 253 Age: 34

2005-06: 3.4 ppg, 2.4 rpg, 10.6 mpg

Comment: He played in just eight games with the Los Angeles Clippers
last season. He's probably most valuable for any leadership and veteran
savvy he might provide rather than his diminishing skills.



No. 30 Mark Blount
Pos.: C Ht.: 7-0 Wt.: 250 Age: 30
2005-06: 11.3 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 0.94 bpg

Comment: One of the best mid-range jump shooting centers in the NBA. His
rebounding leaves much to be desired, and he has a penchant for turnovers.



No. 31 Ricky Davis
Pos.: G/F Ht.: 6-7 Wt.: 226 Age: 27
2005-06: 19.4 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 1.17 spg

Comment: Davis is a streaky scorer who's dangerous when he's hot. But he's
also prone to some poor percentage shooting. The Wolves have stressed that
he must improve his defense.


No. 4 Randy Foye
Pos.: G Ht.: 6-4 Wt.: 213 Age: 23
2005-06: 20.5 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 3 apg at Villanova

Comment: Some experts touted him as the favorite to win the NBA's rookie
of the year award, but don't be surprised if he comes along slower than
fans might have expected. He's still thinking through his responsibilities
on the court rather than just playing instinctively.


No. 21 Kevin Garnett
Pos.: F Ht.: 7-0 Wt.: 253 Age: 30
2005-06: 21.8 ppg, 12.7 rpg, 4.1 apg, 52.6 FG pct.

Comment: Garnett led the NBA in rebounding for the third consecutive season.
His field-goal percentage was the best of his career, and his 33 consecutive
double-doubles was the league's longest streak in 23 years.


No. 41 Eddie Griffin
Pos.: F Ht.: 6-10 Wt.: 245 Age: 24
2005-06: 4.6 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 2.11 bpg, 35.1 FG pct.

Comment: When motivated, Griffin is capable of playing near all-star level.
But his performances are inconsistent. Ranked 10th in the NBA in average
blocks last season.


No. 23 Trenton Hassell
Pos.: G Ht.: 6-5 Wt.: 233 Age: 27
2005-06: 9.2 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 46.4 FG pct.

Comment: The team's top perimeter defender blossomed last season as a scorer,
and he could have an opportunity to improve even more this season. He worked
on his three-point shooting, and he's already the team's top player in the
post (excluding Kevin Garnett).


No. 16 Troy Hudson
Pos.: PG Ht.: 6-1 Wt.: 178 Age: 30
2005-06: 9.5 ppg, 39.6 FG pct.

Comment: Right ankle soreness caused by bone spurs caused him to miss final
37 games last season. But he's healthy this preseason and how shown much
improved quickness and mobility. Coach Dwane Casey has praised his
leadership.


No. 13 Mike James
Pos.: PG Ht.: 6-2 Wt.: 195 Age: 31
2005-06: 20.3 ppg, 44.2 3-pt. FG pct., 5.8 apg

Comment: The team's big free-agent acquisition this summer, James was a
scoring point guard in Toronto who must prove he can duplicate his breakout
2005-06 season. Has increased his scoring average each of the last five
seasons. Ranked fourth in the NBA in three-point shooting accuracy.


No. 55 Marko Jaric
Pos.: G/F Ht.: 6-7 Wt.: 224 Age: 28
2005-06: 7.8 ppg, 3.9 apg, 39.9 FG pct.

Comment: Described last season, his first with the Wolves, as his worst in
the NBA. Has five years remaining on a six-year, $38 million contract signed
in 2005. Struggled as the starting point guard and was replaced. He played
well as a reserve small forward this preseason.


No. 35 Mark Madsen
Pos.: F Ht.: 6-9 Wt.: 250 Age: 30
2005-06: 1.2 ppg, 2.3 rpg, 10.9 mpg

Comment: Had a bigger role under former coach Flip Saunders, but with the
addition of Craig Smith, it's hard to imagine Madsen getting significantly
more minutes this season.


No. 1 Rashad McCants
Pos.: G Ht.: 6-4 Wt.: 226 Age: 22
2005-06: 7.9 ppg, 17.2 mpg, 37.2 3-pt. FG pct.

Comment: Sidelined because of surgery on his right knee. It's doubtful he
will return before January, and although his rehabilitation is on track, it
wouldn't be surprising if he misses the entire season. Improved as 2005-06
progressed, averaging 14.9 points in his last 12 games.


No. 8 Justin Reed
Pos.: F Ht.: 6-8 Wt.: 238 Age: 24
2005-06: 4.5 ppg, 1.7 rpg, 13.8 mpg

Comment: Reed was a pleasant surprise after being acquired in a multi-player
trade with Boston in January. He re-signed with the Wolves this summer but
it remains to be seen how he fits in with the Wolves, who did not play him
extensive minutes during the preseason.


No. 5 Craig Smith
Pos.: F Ht.: 6-7 Wt.: 272 Age: 22
2005-06: 17.6 ppg, 9.4 rpg, 3 apg at Boston College

Comment: Coach Dwane Casey touts Smith's hustle and physical play as well
as his savvy around the basket. Smith has played well in the preseason and
might be ready to contribute early this season, though he's an undersized
NBA power forward.


No. 6 Bracey Wright
Pos.: G Ht.: 6-3 Wt.: 201 Age: 22
2005-06: 21.9 ppg, 4.1 apg in Development League

Comment: Wright's scoring average ranked fourth in the D-League last season.
Now he's determined to avoid the D-League, but he will have to play well to
overcome a logjam of guards on the roster and earn minutes.


coach Dwane Casey
Age: 49
Education: bachelor's degree, business administration, University of Kentucky
(1979)

Coaching experience: Enters second season as Wolves head coach looking to
bounce back from disappointing first year. Went 33-49 last season and missed
the playoffs in his first head coaching job since spending 11 seasons as a
Seattle SuperSonics assistant. Began coaching career as graduate assistant
at Kentucky in 1979.
