I’m guessing the crowd that comes to tonight’s game at the Sprint Center in Kansas City for the preseason game between the Timberwolves and the Miami Heat will be predominantly pro-Wolves.
Yes, the Heat has Kansas City native Willie Reed on the roster.
But the Wolves have three former Kansas Jayhawks on their roster in Andrew Wiggins, Cole Aldrich and Brandon Rush. And the KU campus is only about 40 miles from Kansas City. All three have played in this arena before.
Rush and Aldrich were on the 2008 Kansas NCAA title team and Rush is a Kansas City native as well.
