Round 2: Blake Stepp, PG, Gonzaga (#58) DraftCity http://www.draftcity.com/articles/0055.htm Grade: B Not much you can do that far down in the 2nd round, the T’Wolves are trying to fill the gap created by Troy Hudson’s possible departure. He can probably get the ball to Kevin Garnett and hit his jump shots if he is left open. That's about all you can ask for here. 第二輪後段的選秀你沒有太多選擇可做，所以灰狼試著去填補Troy Hudson可能離隊造成 的戰力空缺。Stepp也許可以把球傳給KG和投進一些空檔的跳投，那就是灰狼所希望的。 CBS Sportsline http://www.sportsline.com/nba/story/7448739 Grade: D+ Finally, the punishment is over. With a reprieve last season, this was the fourth and final first round the T-Wolves forfeited their pick as penalty for their under-the-table deal with Joe Smith in 1999. Last year they added prep talent Ndudi Ebi, so it's not like they're not developing someone anyway. And this year, with their lone pick, 58th overall, they grabbed Gonzaga point guard Blake Stepp. They needed depth there and Stepp, at 6-4, was a four-year starter and a second team All-American. He's slow and an erratic shooter, but he has great instincts, played on a team that did well in the NCAA Tournament every year and knows how to win. If nothing else, he has a chance to make the team and add depth. 終於，處罰結束了。除了上個球季被歸還的，這是第四個，也是最後一個灰狼因為1999年 Joe Smith密約事件而被沒收的第一輪選秀權。去年灰狼選擇了潛力新秀Ndudi Ebi，但這 一年來灰狼似乎沒有培養出任何人。而今年灰狼運用了他們唯一的58順位選秀權，選擇了 Gonzaga的控球Blake Stepp。灰狼需要提升控球的深度，而6呎4的Stepp，擔任了四年的 大學先發控球並入選一次全美第二隊。他是個出手慢而且不穩定的射手，但是他有很好的 天賦，在一隻年年打進NCAA決賽的強隊打球，而且知道如何贏球。沒意外的話，他是有機 會進入灰狼來提升灰狼在控球後衛上的深度。 CNN SI http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/basketball/nba/specials/draft/2004/06/25 /draft.grades.04/index.html Grade: B+ No first-round pick again (forfeited as part of the Joe Smith fiasco), but they used their second-rounder on Gonzaga's Stepp. He's a heady point guard with an outside chance to make it as an NBA backup, something the T'wolves might need if Troy Hudson bolts as a free agent. 又一次沒有第一輪選秀(Joe Smith密約處罰的一部分)，但是灰狼把第二輪押在Gonzaga的 Stepp身上。他是個謹慎的控球，能把握外線的空檔，能勝任NBA等級的替補PG。而這是灰 狼有可能需要的--如果Troy Hudson成為自由球員離開的話。 --
