The first-year Thunder coach went out and got exactly what he didn’t have.
Two former NBA head coaches will be at Donovan’s side on the Thunder bench next season after the Thunder finalized its coaching staff with the hiring of Maurice Cheeks and Monty Williams as assistants.
Cheeks, a former Thunder assistant on Scott Brooks’ staff for four seasons, and Williams bring a combined 14 years of NBA head coaching experience that is expected to aid Donovan in his transition from college to the NBA.
Donovan also will have two other former head coaches by his side in Anthony Grant and Darko Rajakovic.
