The Phoenix Suns got their guy.
Philadelphia 76ers assistant Monty Williams will be their next head coach, the team announced Friday morning.
Williams will replace Igor Kokoskov, who was fired after one season in which the Suns finished with the second-worst record in franchise history at 19-63.
“I am thrilled to welcome Monty Williams to the Suns family as our next head coach,” Suns General Manager James Jones said in a statement. “Monty brings a wealth of NBA experience, both as a coach and former player, in addition to being a high-character individual who will infuse basketball wisdom and life lessons into our locker room.
