Advertisement "Playing that waiting game is part of the business," said Ahearn, a former Missouri State basketball standout. "For those who know me, patience is not my best asset. But for now, I have to be patient." Ahearn appeared in 12 games last season as a rookie with the injury-depleted Miami Heat, averaging 5.8 points. He's waiting to find out if the Minnesota Timberwolves make him a contract offer. He played with Minnesota's team in the Las Vegas Summer League. The 6-foot-2 guard averaged 12.2 points in five games -- second to the Timberwolves' first-round draft choice, Kevin Love. He shot 43.5 percent from the field. He made 7 of 20 3-pointers and all 14 of his free throws. "My agent (John Greig of Seattle) says Minnesota really likes me; they're just not making a decision yet," Ahearn said. "They have one roster spot open and are looking for a combo guard. That's the role I played during the summer league." Advertisement Greig did not return a phone call seeking comment. Ahearn isn't going to sit and wait while the Timberwolves decide. He's working out daily in his hometown of St. Louis and is scheduled to fly to San Antonio on Aug. 15 for a tryout with the Spurs. Golden State and Phoenix also have shown interest in his services, Ahearn said. Ahearn's first choice would be Phoenix, with its up-tempo style, though he said San Antonio "has a team of skilled players and the whole organization is first class." "Obviously, any team in the NBA would be good," Ahearn added. "I'm sure that I'm going to get an opportunity with someone. "It could happen tomorrow, from a team not even in the mix or it could happen in two weeks. I just have to be patient and stay ready." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.165.17.185 ※ 編輯: wisdom8002 來自: 118.165.17.185 (08/02 22:32)
