Can Danny?

The 2007 Rookie Photo Shoot took place and it really doesn't match last year's at all.  The weirdest shot was Adam Haluska looking like a serial killer.  Maybe there's something in the water in New Orleans but stiill, it doesn't come close to competing with Hilton Armstrong's FIERCE work last year from the ridiculous 2006 shoot. Also disappointing are the facts that there are no pictures of Gabe Pruitt or Glen "Big Baby" Davis and also no photos of Yi standing around awkwardly refusing the put on a Bucks jersey.

Speaking of odd photos, this just doesn't look right. 

 

I can't find pictures of anyone else from the trade in a Wolves uniform although I do think it's funny that the Wolves frontpage now features a running slide show of the current roster, as if to say, "Meet the Timberwolves".  Looking through the roster, you can't help but realize just how much KG was the face of that franchise. Wisely though, the Wolves are taking a team approach rather than setting up Foye, Brewer, and Big Al as the heirs apparent and giving them even more pressure than they'll already be under.

On a completely unrelated, but funny note, Yi Jianlian and his people really seem to have their priorities straight.

There is a new reason why Yi Jianlian may not want to play in Milwaukee.

Said Ma Jian, a former Chinese basketball star: "Of course, definitely, CBA (Chinese Basketball Association) and Yi’s agents would prefer that he play in cities with large Chinese population. It will benefit both CBA and Yi; it will help promotion. And it will guarantee him better restaurants and perhaps better looking Chinese girlfriend."

I know there's cultural issues and all but it would be nice to hear Yi or his people mention winning actual basketball games or improving his overrated skill set at least once.
