Can the Wolves wake up from the nightmare start to the season?
The Wolves have dropped five of their past six contests and never held a lead beyond the first quarter in any of those defeats.

Two of the four June 23 picks, including a defensive stopper, could provide immediate dividends.
Brandon Ross is a guitarist who can ripple, skronk and squall in a manner akin to Jimi Hendrix without being a Hendrix imitator.
