Will NBA teams harbor regrets for letting Jordi Fernandez pass? Maybe. Because the latter carried out interviews with the Raptors and the Bucks, without forgetting his rapprochement with the Suns, during the summer, without ultimately obtaining a position.
In the process, the Kings assistant shone with Canada during the World Cup, winning the bronze medal against Team USA.
If many in the NBA think that his future seems written (one day he will have an opportunity), the main person concerned, who is only 40 years old, does not seem to be in a hurry and is not hurt not to have won a contract this summer.
“When it comes, it will come and if I get a job, someone will want to give it to me”he explains to Mundo Deportivo. “What I need to do is get experience as a coach and progress, and now that I’m back in Sacramento, I want to bring that experience. I’m looking forward to learning, doing new things and taking on new challenges in my life, it’s important. Other than that, I’m not obsessed with this question. »
It must be said that, in addition to his experience in Sacramento with Mike Brown in an ambitious team, with Canada, a nation which also has an appetite and will aim for gold at the 2024 Olympic Games, Jordi Fernandez has a nice and big bones to gnaw on while waiting to move up in rank.
“I would love to coach in the NBA and I’m sure it will happen, but I wouldn’t trade this World Cup experience and being in the Olympics for anything. That’s what I’m looking forward to, because I know it’s going to happen. For the rest, it doesn’t make much sense to dwell on things that we don’t know if they’re going to happen or not. »
