Fantasy Analysis
Foye was injured for much of last year, pushing Telfair into the starter's role after he was acquired from Boston in the trade for Kevin Garnett. He averaged 9.3 points and 5.9 assists and emerged as a capable game manager for the young team. Telfair had himself a decent month of December, when he was promoted to a starting role. He averaged 10.6 points and 6.9 assists, which could be the ceiling he is looking at despite all the hype he received coming into the NBA. (Updated 07/22/2008).
Telfair signed his new contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday, a two-year deal that includes a player option for a third season. The Timberwolves had declined to extend Telfair the one-year, $3.5 million qualifying offer for which he was eligible, making him an unrestricted free agent. (Updated 07/23/2008)
Advice
Telfair started slowly after arriving in Minnesota from Boston last summer in the Kevin Garnett trade, but Timberwolves coach Randy Wittman grew fond of him as he developed into a steady point guard. A sprained ankle kept him out for the last 21 games of the season. Telfair averaged 9.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 5.9 assists and finished 10th in the NBA in assist-to-turnover ratio.
