Mike Brown may finally have his full coaching staff for next season in place. Longtime NBA assistant Chris Jent, who’s currently with the Charlotte Hornets, is now considered the leading candidate to join the New York Knicks as their offensive coordinator, according to league insider Frank Isola.
You might remember Jent from his days as LeBron James’ “personal shot tutor” during the four-time MVP’s first go-round with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The two developed what appeared to be a nice rapport. LeBron trusted him so much that he had Jent travel with him to work on his shooting following his lamentable shooting performance in the 2007 NBA Finals.
