Luke on Timberwolves Roster in Las Vegas

Touchdown in Vegas!

Is Luke Sikma a baller? Seems like it today. That or I'm getting his buckets mixed up with Robbie Hummel's.

Sources confirm that Luke Sikma is a baller.

Biggest Standout Performances: Luke Sikma & Kammron Taylor:

The two players who made the biggest impression through their play were forward Luke Sikma and guard Kammron Taylor. Sikma, son of Wolves assistant coach Jack Sikma, is a 6-foot-8 power forward out of the University of Portland who simply willed his way into more and more playing time. He started out playing about nine minutes per night, but through his work ethic and productivity he continued to earn minutes. In his final two games, Sikma played a combined 35 minutes, went 8-for-9 from the field for 16 points and collected 14 rebounds. He showed an innate rebounding ability for which he was known in college—he averaged 10.5 boards per game as a senior—and was consistently around the rim waiting for tip-ins on missed shots. He also made an impact setting solid screens for his teammates.

Taylor has played the past five seasons in Europe after a successful four-year career at the University of Wisconsin. The Minneapolis native played significant minutes at the point guard position this week, and when he was in he played a big role in helping the offense function. Over his final two games, he shot 9-for-18 with 26 points. Adelman called Taylor the surprise of the camp, comparing his game to a combination of Rafer Alston and Aaron Brooks—a knockdown shooter who gets the system. Adelman credited Taylor for keeping the Wolves on track during the win against Cleveland on Thursday.
