After helping the Celtics reach the NBA summit while flanking Joe Mazzulla as his lead assistant, Charles Lee is now in Charlotte, starting his long-deserved opportunity as a head coach at basketball's highest level.
With the Hornets, Lee, who has been a part of two NBA title teams, will work to help develop a young core featuring Brandon Miller, Mark Williams, and the sixth overall pick in this year's draft, Tidjane Salaün. Charlotte's new bench boss brought two coaches from Boston with him to aid in that objective. Jermaine Bucknor, who worked as a development coach for the reigning champions, and Blaine Mueller are now in the Queen City.
Mueller was the head coach of the Maine Celtics, who reached the G League Finals this year. The move comes with promotions for him and Bucknor, who will elevate to the role of assistant coach. From their work ethic to their ability to teach the game and connect with people to help get the most out of them, they both are excellent additions to, the franchise's all-time leading scorer.
