Wolves' Jaric Ready And Looking For A Fresh Start

Associated Press - Marko Jaric is looking for a fresh start.

At the end of last season, the 6-foot-7 guard was tired, disappointed and frustrated. He'd lost his spot in the Timberwolves' starting lineup, and on some nights, he'd lost his place in the rotation.

"I couldn't wait for last season to end," Jaric said. "I was not happy with my situation, and I'm sure the team was not happy with me."

So he spent the offseason improving his quickness, ball-handling and attitude.

"I've worked hard, and I'm even more hungry to show people who I am," he said. "I feel like I'm ready for this season."

Timberwolves coach Dwane Casey said Wednesday he's seen the change. When Jaric came to camp last year after a trade for Sam Cassell and a No. 1 draft choice, he had tired legs and a tired mind from playing in a tournament for the Yugoslavian national team.
