Season Report
The veteran point guard provided leadership to an extremely young Wolves squad this season. Kevin Ollie is a consummate professional and displayed strong defensive skill in mainly a role off the bench. With Randy Foye shifting to the shooting guard position, the Wolves relied on Ollie's stability at the point guard spot. This season, Ollie managed the offense with occasional attempts at reaching the lane. Fans will remember the grit on the defensive side of the floor and non-stop effort on a nightly basis. Ollie suffered from an elbow injury in January and February, which cost him 20 games during a crucial part of the season. Inside the locker room, Ollie preached wisdom to his teammates as a conduit of information from the head coach. The future is unknown for the unrestricted free agent with a possible opportunity to join a team looking for a veteran presence next season.
