Wolves mailbag: How long do Ryan Saunders and Gersson Rosas have to prove themselves?

We asked readers for their Wolves-related questions, and they had a whole bunch. Here are some of the best ones, with answers:

Ricky P — Will we see (Ricky) Rubio continue to play in "clutch" time or will his role taper off as the season progresses?

A: It's going to be one of the more fascinating questions as the season goes forward. It hasn't been the smoothest of starts for Rubio, but given his veteran stature, and given that the Wolves brought him here for leadership, it's going to be difficult — once he returns from the health and safety protocols list — to remove him from a clutch lineup even if another lineup combination might be ideal.
