We should hire Luke Kennard as our player/shooting coach.

From a Google search.

And hey ... He's coming from the same tree that Mose came from.... So he might know and trust more about him than others.

Shammgod is a highly regarded coach, particularly known for his player development and ball-handling expertise. He's a player development coach for the Dallas Mavericks, focusing on enhancing players' skills and instincts, especially in ball control and decision-making on the court. Shammgod's coaching is recognized for its focus on removing players from their comfort zones and stimulating their imaginations.
Here's a more detailed look at his coaching abilities:
Player Development Specialist:
Shammgod is known for his work in developing players' skills, particularly their ball-handling abilities.
Focus on Instincts and Imagination:
His coaching emphasizes developing players' instincts and encouraging them to think creatively on the court, helping them navigate the game's complexities.
Drills and Video Analysis:
He utilizes drills that push players to their limits and utilizes video analysis, including slow-motion, to pinpoint areas for improvement, like footwork and angles.
Effective Communication:
Shammgod is recognized as a strong communicator, fostering positive relationships with players, which is a key aspect of coaching.
Impact on Mavericks:
He has been instrumental in the development of players like Kyrie Irving and Luka Dončić, and his work has contributed to the Mavericks' strong ball control and low turnover rate, according to the Hartford Courant.
Legendary Crossover:
Shammgod is famous for his signature "Shammgod" crossover move, which he also teaches to players, but his coaching goes beyond just that one move.

sounds like Mose...there's value to that.

I just hope Mose has been reading up on modern NBA offense or touring Europe talking to innovative coaches this summer. Shammgod sounds like a really good add, but not a direct shot at our glaring offensive need.

Per @TheSteinLine on God Shammgod's future...

"Magic still want him very badly, the working expectation is that the Magic will ultimately succeed in that pursuit."

"Yesterday was the last day of God Shammgods current contract."

This is shaping out to be a very exciting offseason.

TBD. He was the head player development coach in Dallas, not a front of the bench assistant.

But since he’s out of contract, the Magic don’t have to offer him a promotion or a move up the bench if they don’t want to.
