Wolves Updates 10/13
The Wolves face the Pistons tonight in a preseason game in Omaha.Coach Casey on Vin Baker:
"He's been great for us," Casey said. "He doesn't have the explosion he used to have, but he has the basketball IQ, the basketball smarts."
On Craig Smith:
"Huge," Casey said of Smith's upside. "It's one game, but he's on the plus side right now."
On Ricky Davis' impressive performances against the Bucks:
"When Ricky's not playing big minutes, when he's not playing 42 or 44 minutes, I think he can do that," Casey said. "I think when Ricky gets into trouble volume-wise is when he's playing big minutes and then he's taking some shots when he's fatigued more than anything else."
The Pistons' Lindsey Hunter on Mike James:
"Everyone realizes what Mike can do on the basketball court," Hunter said. "He proved that here and he proved it everywhere he's been. I always look at guys you make relationships with . . . you want them to do well, and Mike has done well for himself."
