Blake Ahearn joins the Timberwolves

Blake Ahearn (6'2 190 PG) 1 year pro, is trying out for the Wolves 3rd PG spot. In the 2007-2008 season, Ahearn plated with the NBA Development League's Dakota Wizards. He worked his way to the starting lineup, averaging 19 points, with a 96% free-throw percentage, shooting 49% from the field and 44% from 3-point range in 41 games.

Ahearn was signed to a 10-day contract by the NBA's Miami Heat whose roster had been depleted by injuries, did well, and played a total of 12 games.

Ahearn was named the Rookie of the Year of the D-League and All-NBA Development League Second Team.

He holds the career record for career 3-pointers at Missouri State with 276, and was selected the Missouri Valley Conference MVC Freshman of the Year (2004), also being a 2-time all-Missouri Valley Conference first teamer (2006 and 2007).
