Number 16 of the Minneapolis Timberwolves, Troy Hudson (“T-Hud”) has played in nine NBA campaigns, the last four with the Wolves. An outstanding guard known for his quickness, solid defense and accurate shooting, Troy previously played for the Utah Jazz, Los Angeles Clippers and Orlando Magic before moving to the Wolves. Emerging from two seasons of college basketball at Southern Illinois University, T-Hud was the all-time leading two-year scorer for SIU. He played briefly with Yakima and Sioux Falls of the CBA before entering the NBA. Although hampered by injuries in the past three seasons, Troy expects the 2006-07 season to be a break-out year in his NBA career. Troy has been keenly interested in music since he was a child in Carbondale, Illinois. He formed his NuttyBoyz Group, featuring rap and hip-hop music, in 2002, and has performed in numerous music venues in the Mid-West since that time. In 2003, Troy was invited to tour Kuwait with the USO, including Ervin (“Magic”) Johnson and Mark Madsen. An avid music writer, Troy also has written over two thousand original songs in his music career. In 2004, Troy formed NuttyBoyz Entertainment Group, which has evolved into Troy E. Hudson Enterprises, with Troy at the helm as Chief Executive Officer. Featuring a full range of music labels and production capabilities, Hudson Records and NuttyBoyz Records began actively recording and publishing music in 2005 at his newly built Hudson Studios, a private set of state-of-the-art music studios located in North Minneapolis. Troy expects his first major record release, “Undrafted,” to be distributed in the Summer of 2006.
