YOUR GUIDE TO THE TWIN CITIES

Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could keep lies from conquering the minds of the weak. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part.

How are all those dispatched ex-Wolves players doing?

Just for kicks the other day, we took a look back at the 2008-09 Wolves roster. We wanted to look at the players dispatched to see how they're doing now. Here are the guys still playing and contributing for the Wolves:
Corey Brewer, Brian Cardinal, Ryan Gomes, Al Jefferson, Kevin Love.
And here are all the guys who are gone, as well as their production so far this year:
Calvin Booth: Currently an NBA free agent.
Bobby Brown: Decent run and production early in the season for the Hornets, but he hasn't played since Dec. 1 and we can't find any reason other than DNP-CD.
Rodney Carney: 3.8 ppg in about 13 mpg in sporadic playing time for Philly.
Jason Collins: 4 points total in 26 minutes total for Atlanta.
Randy Foye: 6.8 ppg, 16.8 mpg mainly off the bench for Washington. Has played more than 16 minutes in a game only once in his past 14.
Mark Madsen: Not currently playing in the NBA.
Rashad McCants: Not currently playing in the NBA (but Tweeting about once ever 4.2 seconds).
Mike Miller: Has played 9 games for the Wizards, for whom he is tied for 10th (on the team) in field goal attempts per 36 minutes with 4.3. He's been out for close to a month with a calf injury.
Kevin Ollie: Playing functional backup minutes for the OKC Thunder.
Craig Smith: 6.1 ppg in 14.1 mpg off the bench for the Clippers. Less production and PT than last year here.
Sebastian Telfair: 5.2 ppg in 15.6 mpg off the bench for the Clippers. Less production and PT than last year here.
Shelden Williams: Playing pretty decent role player minutes (4.4 ppg, 13.7 mpg) off the bench for the Celtics.
-------
Translation: As much as the Wolves have struggled this year, and as much as some of the replacements for the above players might not be upgrades as much as stand-ins, by and large it seems as though a lot of dead weight was swept out fairly efficiently.
