After Austin Croshere got waived, Ryan Gomes is now the only former Providence Friar in the NBA. I will try to give a Gomes update each week.
Since Minnesota lost Al Jefferson for the year, Gomes has really stepped up.
Here are his lines the last 5 games.
2/18 vs MIA – 20 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals
2/20 vs IND – 26 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals
2/22 vs LAL – 20 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists
2/24 vs TOR – 23 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists
2/25 vs UTA – 24 points, 8 rebounds, 1 block
Of course Minnesota has only won 1 of those last 5 (versus Miami last Wednesday). The Timberwolves are now 18-39.
