The Pelicans will hire Nuggets assistant coach Chris Finch in the same role, according to an ESPN report.
Finch was hired last August by Denver and worked one season as the team’s top offensive assistant, helping the Nuggets orchestrate one of the league’s top attacks. He joined the Nuggets after five seasons with the Rockets.
Finch is well regarded for his work with big men, and he’ll have a chance to make his mark with all-star frontcourt players Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins in New Orleans. The Pelicans were 26th in offensive efficiency last season.
