— Where Does Jaylen Nowell fall in the playing time pecking order compared to Austin Rivers and Bryn Forbes?

— How will Chris Finch’s rotation play out?

— What will Chris Finch have to say about how aggressive the defensive scheme will be now that Rudy Gobert is in the mix?

— Is Jaden McDaniels worth it?

— How’s everyone’s jumper looking (specifically Kyle Anderson and Jaden McDaniels)?

— Who is in charge of the locker room?

— How often is D’Angelo Russell initiating the offense vs. how often Anthony Edwards is initiating the offense?

On today’s show, Dane is joined by Britt Robson from MinnPost to further discuss the Rudy Gobert addition after some time to reflect. Additional topics include the Austin Rivers signing, impressions of Wendell Moore Jr. and Josh Minott in Summer League and where Vegas has set the Wolves win total over/under for the upcoming season.

Now with more time to let the Gobert deal sink in, Dane and Britt get in to more of the nitty-gritty of where Gobert’s impact will be felt most. What is Gobert’s expected impact on offense versus defense?

The Rivers conversation is really more about what we expect the Wolves’ rotation to be? Where does Rivers rank in the pecking order compared to Bryn Forbes and Jaylen Nowell specifically?

What stood out, for better or worse, from Moore Jr. and Minott’s Summer League performance. And where do those two fit in the Wolves pecking order at the moment?

Vegas set the Wolves win total over/under at 49.5 (or 48.5 if you find the right book). What does that win total suggest about the perception of the Wolves in the Western Conference hierarchy? And how profitable is the idea of betting on the Wolves being a 50-win team this season?

— Reacting to Tim Connelly’s public comments on the process of navigating KAT’s calf strain

— Discussing what Rudy Gobert needs in support defensively to be the most impactful version of himself, regardless of how the opponent tries to attack them

— Ranking the expected Western Conference playoff teams from who the Wolves should most want to catch in a playoff series to who they should least want to catch in the playoffs

— Going through the flaws in Ant’s offensive game that he has worked through over the first 2.5 years of his career and the one element of his offensive game that still needs to be ironed out
