MANKATO, Minn. — Here's something that might be of interest to Timberwolves
fans who wish all-star Kevin Garnett would post up on the low block and stay
there.
The 7-foot Garnett spent time this summer practicing his three-point shooting.
No joke.
"It's coming (along)," Garnett said this week. "I'm not going to rely on it,
because you all know I'm from the block. The block is what got me here.
I'm going to stay with the block. But that's not to say I'm shy about
shooting it. I've been working on it, working on it really hard,
but I can't forget about that block."
Garnett was perhaps the team's best three-point shooter during a drill
earlier this week in training camp. He had streaks of four and five in a row,
outshooting most guards in the drill.
No one knows how much Garnett actually might shoot threes in games once the
regular season starts Nov. 1. Dwane Casey won't be calling plays for Garnett
to step behind the arc for an open shot, but the coach has confidence in his
franchise player.
"His outside shooting has improved," Casey said. "He's brought a three-point
game into the year. That's something new he brought in. He's shooting it
consistently. I don't know how much he's going to use it, but he's worked
on it."
Garnett is a career 29.7 percent three-point shooter during his 11 years
(152 for 511). His best season was in 1999-2000, when he made 30 of 81
attempts (37 percent). His most attempts came in 2001-02 (116), but last
season he shot only 30.
Rotations: The first, second and third teams appeared clear early this week
in training camp. Kevin Garnett, Trenton Hassell, Mike James, Ricky Davis
and Mark Blount were the starters; Marko Jaric, Troy Hudson, Mark Madsen,
Eddie Griffin and Justin Reed the backups; and Randy Foye, Craig Smith,
Bracey Wright, Vin Baker, Paul Shirley and Tyrone Ellis the third-stringers.
