As the Wolves season inches closer to its end, (we’ve been screaming ‘uncle’ for weeks now, it seems) I’ve taken a bit more interest in some of the team’s former players, many of whom are playing meaningful roles on competitive teams. After watching Randy Foye posterize the mighty Serge Ibaka last night on national tv (more on this, below) I thought it’d be fun to scan the league for former Timberpups making various levels of noise in their respective situations. Without further ado, here is your 2011-12 Minnesota Timberwolves Alumni Team:

Tonight’s matchup with Philly turned into an interesting contest. It was interesting because a near-capacity crowd showed up on a Sunday night even though the Sixers don’t have a “superstar” talent that typically draws big attendance. It was interesting because it was very close for nearly the entire game. It was interesting because Jrue Holiday and Ricky Rubio are each fascinating players in different ways. And it was interesting because the Wolves won by a single point, in somewhat bizarre fashion.
