Player Development is Key Under Ryan Saunders

The NBA Draft is still around three weeks away and the free agency fireworks won’t go off for another month, but it’s already been an offseason packed with Timberwolves news.

Gersson Rosas took over the vacancy as president of basketball operations, which led to a litany of dominoes falling. The new POBO filled out his front office gang with fresh and esteemed faces like Sachin Gupta and Gianluca Pascucci, demoting the maligned Scott Layden in the process. Most importantly, however, he decided to hang on to Ryan Saunders as head coach, dropping the interim term he carried through the second half of the season.
