My Take
Ryan Saunders reads to me as a Minnesota story through and through: born in Medina, schooled at Wayzata and the University of Minnesota, then handed the Timberwolves head job in his home state. There is something fitting about a local guiding the local team. These days he is lead assistant for the Grizzlies, with stops in Denver and Washington along the way, the resume of someone who climbed methodically rather than leapt. Born in 1986, he seems to build trust through steadiness instead of spectacle. I respect the single-mindedness of a life poured entirely into basketball, both as player and coach.
