An old Cavs contact of Langdon's, and a former co-assistant with Bickerstaff in Memphis.

Much like most of the other assistants, I recognize that name. Has a ring as an assistant, so that seems good

Former NBA player coming in as a big man coach teaching defensive fundamentals and how to be a pro? Cool.

Does seem like a solid coaching staff on paper, but doesn't matter much until they start making real changes.
