The Orlando Magic are closing in on Dallas Mavericks assistant Jamahl Mosley and he's emerged as the strong front-runner to become the franchise's next head coach, sources told ESPN on Thursday.
Conversations are ongoing, but Mosley, 42, has separated himself in the organization's process, sources tell ESPN.
As the Magic move into a full rebuild with a roster core of young players and the fifth and eighth overall picks in this month's NBA draft, Mosley's reputation in player development, his ability to build relationships and hold players accountable has resonated with Magic management, sources said.
