    Jama is back!! That’s huge, I feel like our development really took a step back when he left.

    Jama back!!! Losing him was one of the reasons development slowed down

  4. PlumCantaloupe

    Wow, Jama is coming back? Damn, did he just leave because of Nurse?

  5. earlyearlgray

    Ayyy welcome back Jama!! Definitely prioritizing development with that one

  6. idislikehate

    Feels nice to have some peace of mind about the staff coming together. We can finally focus on what this team will look like.

    This hire is screaming rebuild to me but i’ll believe it when I see it

    Delany dude also a development coach apparently, they really be going all in for development it seems. All three coaches they got so far specialize in development for players

  10. Delany was previously an assistant coach with the Wizards (two seasons), the Magic (three seasons) and the Hornets (four seasons). Prior to that he was head coach for the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the G-League for one year; in that year the team was third overall in the G-League, and had the top defense (but the 3rd worst offense). He generally has a rep for being a defensive development sort of assistant coach.

    Our player development has gone down the toilet since Jama left. This is great news!
