Hudson is "close to 100 percent"

From Sid Hartman:
Timberwolves point guard Troy Hudson, who has been sidelined by an ankle problem since the middle of last year, showed that he is close to 100 percent as he took part in a scrimmage Monday of signed players and free agents. "Hudson looks as good as I have seen him," said teammate Trenton Hassell. "Watching Hudson shoot the ball, he didn't look any different than he was last year when he was healthy." Hudson has been rehabilitating on his own, and until he recently showed up at Target Center, his status for the 2006-07 season was a question.

Wolves first-round draft choice Randy Foye. second-round choice Craig Smith and veterans Hassell, Ricky Davis and Mike James are among the players working out on a regular basis at Target Center. Kevin Garnett has also shown up regularly.
