Jordan Bell signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves as a free agent this summer, and he already appears to be hitting if off with his new head coach.
Addressing reporters Tuesday, the 24-year-old big man revealed one comical thing he likes better about new head coach Ryan Saunders over his former coach with the Golden State Warriors, Steve Kerr. Bell said that he was able to talk to Saunders in Las Vegas about rapper Drake, something that he could never do with Kerr, per Jon Krawcynzki of The Athletic.
Jordan Bell says he was chilling with Ryan Saunders in Vegas and they started talking about Drake. “Coach Kerr’s never talked to me about Drake before.” Cmon @SteveKerr. Enough with Sinatra for these kids

Saunders is just 33, making him the youngest head coach in the NBA and even younger than many active players. Compared to Kerr, who played in the 1990s and will turn 54 later this year, there is probably a bit of a generational gap.
That said, Bell had somewhat of a knack for pranking the coaching staff during his time in Golden State, so we will see how patient Saunders is.
