Kurt Rambis didn’t call this second scrimmage of camp “fairly awful.”

Not great, but certainly better.

“A lot better than the first one,” Rambis said. “I can see the light coming on.”

Some thoughts after watching the final 30 minutes of tonight’s scrimmage:

* It’s still very early, but Ramon Sessions tonight looked like the more confident, assertive point guard (and Jason Hart might be second on that list), which is understandable concerning his age and NBA experience compared to Jonny Flynn, who’s been out of control at times.

* Corey Brewer’s shooting doesn’t look that much improved, but he is ever fast in this setting. If the Wolves can run the way Rambis wants them to, he could thrive. The Wolves just need a reason to keep him on the floor for his defensive potential.

* Al Jefferson almost glided through the first two days of camp. Afterward tonight’s session, he smiled and said, “Everything hurts but my knee.”

* David Kahn will use most of October to look for a third point guard to play behind Flynn and Sessions. Hart, 31, has played 336 games in the league going back to 2000 and is certainly a candidate. But Kahn also will look around for a trade and scour the waiver wire as the regular-season opener approaches.

Rambis said tonight he wants a veteran who can mentor his two young point guards for that spot.

“We’ll see,” Kahn said. “We could go a number of different ways.”

* The scrimmages have been pretty ragged and rugged, partly because the coaches have instructed the scrimmage refs to let almost anything go.

“They told the referees not to call any fouls because that’s the way they played in the ’80s,” Al Jefferson said, referring to Rambis and assistants Reggie Theus and Bill Laimbeer. “Now, that’s old school.”

* Kevin Love hasn’t tweeted since Aug. 14 but vows a spirited comeback soon. He says he has taken a break since front-office guys Fred Hoiberg and Jim Stack told him he shouldn’t have been tweeting some of the stuff he did. “I said, “What happened to the First Amendment law,’ ” Love said wryly.
