Babcock On The Frontcourt
The Wolves site has posted a Q&A with Rob Babcock on the frontcourt. Below are excerpts.Trudell: Towards that end, do you feel that as a personnel staff you have put enough players around Kevin to succeed as a basketball squad?
Babcock: ... I think at this point, where we are right now with the flexibility we have, the cap situation, and what is available, we've done everything we can with this basketball team to prepare and get ready for this season...We're continuing to look, and I know that Kevin and Jim Stack are on the phones talking to other teams...
Trudell: Do you feel it necessary to bring in additional bodies to add depth to the frontcourt?
Babcock: We definitely could use a little bit more depth up front. We're OK with what we have as long as people don't get hurt, but people do get hurt...
Trudell: Fair enough. Changing tunes here, another player you have seen before in Minnesota is Mark Madson. Talk about all of the different things he does to help your team win.
Babcock: I know Mark well, and understand what he can do for a basketball team. He does a lot of intangible things that the average fan might not pick up on...
Trudell: You've been watching many of the Wolves work out in the last month or so. What can you tell us about Eddie Griffin?
Babcock: I've been watching Eddie work out for the last month, and what I've seen is that he is really working hard. Each week, he's in better shape...
