On today’s show, Dane is joined by Wolves beat writer, Jace Frederick of the St. Paul Pioneer Press to discuss the Wolves taking the early steps toward finding an identity in the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns. The majority of the conversation centers on the idea of which players will be instrumental in creating that identity. But before getting into all of that, Dane and Jace touch on the Wolves’ signing of former-Laker Matt Ryan to a two-way contract.

— What do we make of the Matt Ryan signing? Something or a nothing-burger?

— What do we think the KAT-less identity of this team will prove to be during this stretch?

— What are the non-Rudy minutes going to look like in KAT’s absence?

— Might Luka Garza and/or Nate Knight find their way into the rotation?

— We’ve talked about Ant needing to step up as a leader in KAT’s absence. What has that leadership looked like? What might it look like going forward?
