When the Orlando Magic hired coach Jamahl Mosley as their new coach, they made sure player development was the story.
President of basketball operations Jeff Weltman said people often are how they come into the league. Mosley came into the league as a player development coach with the Denver Nuggets and worked his way onto the bench and through the league in the last 14 years.
Mosley’s ability to get on the floor and work with players and grow relationships with him was going to be his biggest benefit to the Magic as he started his head coaching career.
