The Toronto Raptors are officially starting to interview some of the hottest candidates on their initial shortlist, with Sacramento’s Jordi Fernandez, Milwaukee’s Charles Lee, and Denver’s David Adelman all getting consideration. It is only a moment of time before Kenny Atkinson gets his chance to make an impression.
Atkinson, who is currently Steve Kerr’s top assistant with the Golden State Warriors, was one of the most experienced names on Toronto’s list, thanks to his prior stint as head coach of the Brooklyn Nets. Atkinson was heralded for his job rebuilding the team, and the team was worse off firing him.
