Kenny Atkinson has been left out of chatter about Magic head coaching position | Commentary

With Penny Hardaway pulling his name out of the running to be the next Orlando Magic head coach, the latest name to surface as a possible front-runner is that of Wes Unseld Jr.

The son of the Pro Basketball Hall of Famer has reportedly had two rounds of interviews with the Magic and is a very serious candidate.

The Magic have also, according to many reports, interviewed or are interested in interviewing Becky Hammon (Spurs assistant), Willie Green (Suns assistant), Charles Lee (Bucks assistant) and three assistants from the previous Magic regime under Steve Clifford.

Apparently, Green and Lee, according to reports, both have interviewed despite both of their teams playing deep into the playoffs, and both are still alive with the Suns awaiting the winner between the Bucks and the Hawks to find out who their opponent will be in the NBA Finals.
