Although he hasn’t been the Rockets’ coach since the end of the regular season, Stephen Silas has not completely distanced itself from its former players. He was present at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, to observe the performances of Jabari Smith Jr. and Tari Eason, notably against the Pistons.
“I’m here for these guys, I’ve spent a lot of time with them, on and off the pitch,” he reminds for the Houston Chronicle. “So it doesn’t go away when you change teams. Relationships remain. I wish them the best, except when they play against us. »
Because the coach will now evolve in Detroit, alongside Monty Williams. Even if he is only an assistant, as he had been for many years before.
“An opportunity to work with Williams is something I couldn’t pass up. I did not hesitate, assures Stephen Silas. ” He’s a good person. I knew he was a good coach, but he is really excellent. So, at this stage of my career, working with him gives me some stability in different areas. »
In addition, Stephen Silas arrives in Michigan with a team that looks a lot like the Rockets he led for three seasons. That is to say, a formation essentially made up of young, inexperienced talents that must be nurtured. He is therefore in his place on the bench of the Pistons.
“It’s a good situation for me because I can use my experience with the Rockets to work with this young squad. I can anticipate things before they happen three years later. So it suits me and it’s really nice. »
