    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Here's a starting lineup that wouldn't be a shock to see tonight for the Timberwolves' summer league opener against New Orleans in Las Vegas: point guard Randy Foye, shooting guard Rashad McCants, small forward Corey Brewer, power forward Craig Smith and center Chris Richard.

    Those players would fit in those positions, even if Richard essentially would be another power forward.

    Wolves coach Randy Wittman said he hopes to get everyone on his roster an opportunity to play. But with the most invested in youngsters Foye, McCants and Smith, and new draft picks Brewer and Richard, it makes sense to see as much of them as possible.

    The Wolves follow tonight's game with a scrimmage against Milwaukee on Tuesday. Wittman said the goal for Tuesday's scrimmage is to give players who didn't play much in the first game a chance to show what they can do in a game-like setting.

    "As I told these guys, we're going to look to make changes," Wittman said. "We don't know how this roster is going to be, and there might be an opportunity to land a roster spot."

    For players such as Mateen Cleaves and Ryan Bowen, that's welcome news. They're among the hopefuls who are trying to stick with the Wolves. </div>

    Glad to see we are giving everyone a chance and trying to really develop our young players.
