The Wolves will hold their last of four training-camp practices in Mankato this morning and then head home to Minneapolis to prepare for Wednesday's preseason opener against Indiana in Fargo.
The Wolves practiced a little more than three hours on Thursday -- they opened camp with a four-hour session on Tuesday -- and afterward coach Rick Adelman said the team was ahead of schedule installing its offensive and defensive schemes.
"I really wasn't sure how much we were going to do," he said. "Watching these guys scrimmage, we're running a lot of stuff out of corner set because they seem to pick up very quickly. They've got a real good feel for it. We're a pretty good offensive team I think, the way guys read things and pick things up. It's hard to get an idea how you're doing defensively. The way we're playing, the ball is moving and you can't really zero in how you're doing defensively.
"That's always the problem I had in Sacramento because we were so good offensively. Once we got in games, we needed to figure it out (defensively)."
A couple of things from Thursday's practice:
* Malcolm Lee watched the end of it on the stationary bike because of tightness in his groin, but otherwise the Wolves seemed to come through their third camp practice still pretty darn healthy.
Greg Stiemsma has been able to participate in all 5-on-5 scrimmages, somewhat "surprisingly" he said and declared his feet are feeling "really good."
Brandon Roy seemed to scrimmage normally on Thursday as well. On Wednesday, he sat down for the day after participating in the scrimmage's opening minutes.
