We thought that James Borrego was going to end up on the bench Pistonsespecially since the ouster of Monty Williams and the arrival of Kenny Atkinson at the Cavaliers, but this will ultimately not be the case. Bleacher Report informs us in fact that the current assistant of the Pelicans himself withdrew his name from the candidates for the position.
Therefore, this leaves the leaders of Detroit in the most total uncertainty as to the identity of their future coach, while the Draft has passed (Ron Holland was chosen in 5th position) and the free agency will open in two days.
To replace Monty Williams, the Pistons could now turn to profiles like Micah Nori of the Wolves, Sean Sweeney of the Mavericks, Sam Cassell of the Celtics, David Adelman of the Nuggets or Chris Quinn of the Heat, all targeted during the offseason by various franchises without a “head coach”.
