Cavaliers make smart system coaching hires with development as focus

The Cleveland Cavaliers went a direction seemingly few saw coming at the time when they reportedly hired former Michigan basketball head coach John Beilein to be their head coach, but at least for now, Beilein seems to be a good fit with the team’s primary focus in coming years being a full-rebuild.

Beilein’s staff of known assistant coaches following that of J.B. Bickerstaff, Antonio Lang and Lindsay Gottlieb (as previously detailed) seemed to be high quality fits for the team’s player development focus, too, and I would assume they’ll all provide a boost for the young players in coming years, such as Collin Sexton, Cedi Osman, Ante Zizic, Darius Garland, Dylan Windler and Kevin Porter Jr.
