Wolves coach Ryan Saunders navigated difficult first season

It's hard to think of a more difficult rookie coaching season than the one Ryan Saunders just went through with the Timberwolves after he signed a multiyear contract at the start of the 2019-2020 season to become the youngest head coach in the NBA.

The Wolves went 19-45 and continued a big overhaul of their roster under President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas and then saw their season end with 18 games remaining. And while 22 teams were invited to the NBA bubble in Orlando, the Wolves were not.

With the Lakers topping the Heat to win the NBA championship, Saunders was asked for his thoughts on the bubble and the end of the season.
