If the pre-season means anything, and I think we all agree that it doesn't, I might be in line for a breakout season. In the 7 games of the pre-season, I gathered 5 points for a solid 0.71 points per game. Let's extrapolate that into a 66 game regular season and you're looking at a spicy 47 point season for yours truly. Sophomore slump? More like sophomore bump! The negative into taking the pre-season as gold is that my team went a putrid 1-7 in the pre-season. If you extrapolate that, which I really don't want to, it seems like Minnesota is in line for a miserable 9 win season. We all know that is preposterous so we're just going to believe the pre-season that I will have a breakout season, but ignore that it shows us having a terrible season.

In all seriousness, I'm aware of where we're at as a team. If we can just be competitive every game and not get shellacked every game I'll take it. As for myself, I want to break out. After a rough rookie season I want to take a huge next step in my development. I've been working extremely hard to be an impact player and I want to see some tangible results this season. Here's hoping!
