The Wolves have played three down-to-the-wire games under Ryan Saunders, winning two. While three games is a small sample size, the games have given us a few clues as to what to expect going forward.

Their usage rates — possessions that ended in them taking a shot, getting fouled or turning the ball over — are 28.
