And if Doc Rivers found Chris Paul at the Suns… It is more than possible since the former coach of the Clippers and the Sixers is one of the four finalists for the position of coach of Phoenix. On the “very short list” of Suns leaders to succeed Monty Williams, there are two NBA champion coaches and two assistants.
ESPN announces that Doc Rivers is in competition with Nick Nurse, the former coach of the Raptors, Kevin Young, the current right arm of Monty Williams at the Suns, and finally Jordi Fernandez, the first assistant of Mike Brown at the Kings.
Kevin Young and Jordi Fernandez, the new generation
Interviews will take place this week, and Nurse is already in advanced contact with the Bucks, where he is a “finalist” against Adrian Griffin and Kenny Atkinson. First assistant to Monty Williams, Young is considered one of the best technicians of the new generation, and every year he is interviewed to be a “head coach”. In recent years, he has met the leaders of the Sixers, Jazz and Wizards. According to local “insiders”, he would have the support of the stars of the team.
Finally, Fernandez is a “child” of Mike Malone since he spent six years on the Nuggets bench. It was there that Mike Brown went to get this Spanish technician to make him his “right arm” in Sacramento.
