I still think this is easily the most talented Wolves squad in franchise history, one that will advance in the playoffs for the first time. There is a wealth of good things going on this year, including:

• the improvement of Gary Trent
• the tenacious D, judicious shot selection, and quiet leadership of Sprewell
• the depth provided by Madsen, Trenton Hassell, and Fred Hoiberg
• Cassell's flashes of savvy and marksmanship
• KG's continued all-around excellence
