What happened to Dupree???

I was just wondering how he was doing this season and man, he must be frustrated.

Wasn't he supposed to see more playing time in Minny?

So far this year, he's played 23 games for 147 minutes. Ouch!

Seeing as the Wolves have imploded, seems he'd get more PT.

Anyone have the lowdown on this?

Yup, case example DD. He isn't seeing the light of day, but I'm sure he's a consumate professional. He knows what he signed up for.

Heck, I think he's often in a better situation than Darko.

Re: What happened to Dupree???

It's a shame that he can't get some PT on a mediocre team like that. It's just one of those things that make you go hmmmm?

He just really can't get a break were ever he winds up. I think he may just be best suited to head overseas to try and make a name for himself. There's been a handful of players that have gone that route and made it back to the NBA.

From what I saw, Dupree got regular minutes for the first few games after the trade. He is playing behind Trenton Hassel (a pretty good player) and Wally Szerbiak (also recently traded). So he didn't get too many minutes. I think one of those guys was injured and he was playing alot more. I think they acquired another "energy" guy that they like as well and that pretty much ate up any of the minutes that Dupree could have gotten.
