90-80 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
• "I thought I adjusted pretty well throughout the week," he said.
• His pro education has continued in training camp, where's he's had to learn to drive into the incredibly long reach of Bucks center Larry Sanders and forward John Henson.
• "When you get in the lane, you've got to be pretty crafty," he said. "Otherwise they're going to block your shot."
• For now, Wolters will have to battle for playing time behind fellow point guards Brandon Knight and Luke Ridnour. He played 12 minutes of the Bucks' preseason opener Tuesday night in Cleveland, scoring 2 points with three assists and two rebounds.

• Wolters said it will be fun to see old friends.
• "It's pretty cool," Wolters said. "I didn't really expect to be going back to South Dakota anytime soon."
