Wolves president David Kahn: "If he hadn't been hurt, and I think most people would agree, he was a first-round pick in the league. He has a beautiful shot."
Hummel, on his injured knee: "Heck, I only had one dunk this year. I'm a 6-8 forward and I had one dunk. Probably not a good thing. But it's coming back."
