Ryan Saunders, son of former Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders, takes over as head coach this season after an interim coaching run at the end of last season that saw some success, as Karl Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins saw scoring increases under Saunders’ tutelage. New team president Gersson Rosas is sticking with Saunders and the core of players, hoping they will break through and reach the playoffs in a tough Western Conference. Minnesota is in search for a second star to compliment Towns, who enters the first year of his second NBA contract. The success of this season may hinge on whether Wiggins can show consistent improvement. If Robert Covington continues his upward trajectory, that will also help.
