With the Minnesota Timberwolves not quite out of the playoff hunt yet but not exactly taking a leap toward them, either, has Ryan Saunders proven himself worthy of retaining the position for next season and beyond?
A quick refresher: his position as interim head coach is the first head-coaching position of Ryan Saunders’ young career. Currently the youngest head coach in the NBA at just 32 years old, Saunders was formerly an assistant coach with Washington before joining the Wolves in the same role in 2014.
Since Saunders took over, the Timberwolves have managed a 10-13 record, which has essentially kept them right on pace with their pre-Saunders mark.
