Summary

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?
