Jordi hasn’t even finished packing his bags yet, and he already taking charge. I like it.
Getting assistant coaches from dogshit organizations… brilliant
Worked in the video room for the Spurs and Cavs (worked with Fernandez in Cleveland), Player Development coach with Detroit (Worked with players like Greg Monroe, Andre Drummond, and Khris Middleton). Coached the Blazers Summer League team in 2022, leading them to the championship. Seems to have a history of working with young players and helping them develop.
Must be a good friend cause Hetzel has no winning background at all as an assistant coach, all losing or lottery teams.
Coaching to me is last compare to the talent on the roster but Its funny because JV assistants were from losing franchise too so lets see if Jordi gets the same energy from the fanbase.
