The New Orleans Pelicans recently lost their G League affiliate head coach, T.J. Saint, who left the Birmingham Squadron to join the New York Knicks as part of new head coach Mike Browns staff.
The Pelicans are entering next year with three rookies on standard NBA contracts in Jeremiah Fears, Derik Queen, and Micah Peavy, and one rookie on a two-way deal in Hunter Dickinson. Making it extremely important to bring someone in who can help guide these young players, if they end up spending time in the G League.
And I think the front office may have just found the perfect guy to help the Pelicans' young G League talent develop and win games.
