Detroit — New Pistons coach Monty Williams is starting to assemble his coaching staff.
The Pistons reportedly are expected to hire former Houston Rockets coach Stephen Silas as the top assistant coach on Williams' staff, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Silas, 49, is the son of former NBA star and head coach Paul Silas. He has extensive experience as an assistant, which includes stops in Dallas, Cleveland and Golden State. Most notably, Silas spent 10 of his 20 seasons as an assistant with the Charlotte Hornets, from 2000-02 and 2010-18.
Silas is currently coming off his first stint as a head coach in Houston, but he was fired after three seasons.
