Some insight into the job of an assistant coach

[illmatic99]

Looks like Vanterpool was the only one who was OK being named. https://hoopshype.com/2019/01/05/rumor-behind-scenes-inside-life-nba-assistant-coach/

This was interesting. Who is he talking about?

“What’s most frustrating is probably dealing with the guys who just don’t get it,” Vanterpool said. “Not every story is a success story. There are times when I’m talking to a player and even some of his peers are trying to get him to take heed, but the guy just doesn’t listen. You can tell a guy, ‘That isn’t the best situation,’ and, ‘Watch out for that,’ but when they don’t adhere to those things and bad things end up happening to them, it’s frustrating.”

Hello Meyers Leonard.

BTW, there's a ton more in that article outside of that quote. Worth a read. I never realized how taxing this job can be. Also interesting how conventional our team's setup is compared to other teams'.

Hello Meyers Leonard.

Hardly.

CJ

Jk, but maybe not. Leonard doesn’t really seem like the guy that would ignore coaching. Who else could it be?

Stotts. It's gotta be Stotts.

 

[THE HCP]

DV will be a head coach soon in this league. Much respect for him around the league.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

without reading the article, my guess would be Mo Harkless.

TRob

The next twolves coach?

Vanterpool has been with the Trail Blazers for 6 and a half seasons. This player could have left us 4 or more years ago. Trob isn't a bad guess. I will go with Batum.

Early in the article he mentions working mostly with Dame, CJ, and Evan. My guess is Evan.
