Foye Impresses At Summer League
Summer League Day 1 (ESPN):The Wolves lost to Sacramento, 90-83.
Rookie guard Randy Foye displayed the quickness and scoring ability the Timberwolves had hoped for by scoring a game-high 23 points (9-17 FG) in 35 minutes of action.
Summer League Day 2 (Draft Express):
Win over Phoenix, 91-33.
Foye continues to quietly impress with the instincts he's showing and his overall skill level. He's taking the ball strong to the basket time after time and even had one very nice left-handed and-1 finish over the outstretched arms of Amare Stoudemire. For the second straight game his outside shot wasn't quite falling for him, but Foye found other ways to contribute, whether it was rebounding, making heady passes or getting in the passing lanes.
Foye went back to his mid-range game in the 2nd half and did a terrific job knocking down his shots. He didn't neglect his bread and butter-his slashing game-though, continuing to take it strong at the hoop again and again to finish with pretty finger rolls, draw fouls and get to the free throw line. Foye played more of a scoring role than the distributor Minnesota tried to make him into yesterday, and he thrived, to the tune of over 20 points.
