Summary

On today’s show, Dane is joined by Wolves beat writer Jace Frederick from the Pioneer Press to discuss what we are looking for in Karl-Anthony Towns’s return to play on Wednesday night and going forward. Dane and Jace rattle off five things they’re specifically looking to track in KAT’s return to play. Topics today include... — First, will both KAT and Ant play on Wednesday? — What will transition defense and offense look like once the two centers are back on the floor — How much will offensive and defensive rebounding improve with KAT back in the mix? — Will Naz Reid play? — Can they maintain a strong defensive identity with KAT in at power forward? — What does the rotation look like back at full-strength? — Can KAT and Gobert effectively punish small-ball lineups on offense?

0:19.1	It's March 22nd.
0:20.9	I'm joined on today's show by Wolves beatwriter J.S. Frederick from the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

1:45.8	I'm not sure, you know.
