With Luke Walton as their head coach and Miles Simon, Jud Buechler, and Jesse Mermuys on staff as assistant coaches, the Los Angeles Lakers have become a haven for University of Arizona graduates.
Their Summer League team is no exception.
Buechler, who L.A. hired last summer, will be coaching the Lakers in Las Vegas Summer League, according to Mark Medina of the Southern California News Group.
After playing at the University of Arizona from 1986-1990 under Lute Olson, Buechler spent 12 seasons in the NBA and is most notable for winning three championships with the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s.
