With a top-five NBA player on the roster who’s only 22 years old – surrounded by a cast of mostly young, developing contributors entering the prime of their careers – the New Orleans Pelicans have an attractive head-coach opening to fill. That process will begin soon, according to GM Dell Demps, but there is no timetable for when the team’s next head coach will be hired, after the Pelicans parted ways with Monty Williams on Tuesday.
“We’re going to find a coach who is good for us. Hopefully we can find someone who can take us to the next level,” Demps said during a 15-minute press conference in Metairie.
