Although the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic put the 2019-20 NBA season in a state of flux for the entire league, former Los Angeles Lakers coach Brian Shaw has had no problem staying busy.
Shaw was named as one of the candidates to take over the new G League Select Team headlined by five-star prospects Jalen Green, Isaiah Todd and Daishen Nix. It was announced as part of their new professional pathway program that the L.A.-based team would not be affiliated with any NBA franchise.
While initial reports pegged former NBA head coach Sam Mitchell as the favorite to take over the star-studded squad, it appears a deal could not be reached.
