That’s freaking cool can’t lie lol
The prodigal son has returned…
Man, I used to miss watching him play. It really sucked that he was so short, but if he was at least 6 foot I wonder how he would’ve panned out.
Interesting assistant coach though, I like this move!
Oh god I remember the hype for Phil Pressey and Faverani lol those were good times
Helllll yeah … Marcus’ former teammate now coaches him lol
Pressey such a hoop junkie I can see it working out
A lot of people don’t give a shit about a coaching staff but this is going about as well as you could’ve realistically hoped
Now just to convince Bud to be an assistant again
Article also says 1 or 2 more behind-the-bench guys will be hired and that Aaron Miles staying is TBD. Also that Tony Dobbins, DJ Macleay and Matt Reynolds are staying
Bring back Evan Turner
Love it
I remember him seeing the floor pretty well in his time with the C’s. He had that “traditional pg” vibe in that he looks to get his teammates involved, makes the right pass, good handles. Size and shooting were why he couldn’t stay in the league, but I think he was an overall mechanically sound pg.
Phil!!! I loved that dude, always went balls to the wall.
WE WILL BE THERE 🔥
Kris Humpries and Marshon Brooks will also be returning as asst coach.
Vitor Faverani as developmental coach.
Courtney Lee as cheerleader. 🙂
Where we go again, back to Assistant Coach talk. Sigh….
Would it hurt to hire one former HC?
Further evidence that Brad really, really, really loved this guy haha.
Can’t believe he’s already old enough to be a coach. Assumed when I read this that we were hiring his father Paul.
Love what Brad and Joe have done so far with the staff! Can’t wait to see what a full off season does and see what they cook up.
Bring in Jiri Welsch!
Nice collection of assistants we’ve accrued in the past week or so. Brad always seems to come through imo
Full court pressey
Sweet. I like it
Haha Phil Pressey! I don’t have a good reason to, but I like this.
let’s gooooooo Celtics legend
Lord, I loved Pressey haha. This is great.
Let’s goo!!! Another PP we all loved.
