Kenny Atkinson almost our Assistant Coach
Posted: Mon Aug 6, 2012 3:52 pm
Known for his player development of Jeremy Lin, Kenny is a great teacher who will be able to do wonders on Jeff Teague and John Jenkins. He is a very open minded coach who doesn't dictate his way or the highway. He looks at a player and learns from them, then sees how to amplify their play and takes what he learns and spreads it to others. He's done Euro Camp for 7 years and has learned how to merge the two styles to translate to the NBA.
From everything I've read, he has the potential to become a head coach someday (Looks like Ferry is ready for Drew's contract to expire and have a changing of the guards). I don't know about his defensive side, but being under D'Antoni, and watching some videos, he seems to have the D'Antoni style of an uptempo offense.
Here are some vids:
