Amongst the names the Suns are going to interview, the three guys on the list are Sacramento’s Jordi Fernandez, Milwaukee’s Charles Lee, and Memphis’ Dark Rejakovic.
The one that should excite Suns fans the most from this list is Fernandez as he has a lot of experience in the NBA coaching underneath Kings’ head coach Mike Brown from last year to all the way in their time back together in Cleveland.
He even spent a lot of years coaching for the Denver Nuggets underneath Michael Malone from 2016-2021. Memphis’ Darko Rejakovic is a familiar name Suns fans should know.
He was an assistant for one year under Monty Williams back in 2019 and would bring familiarity to the team with his pick-and-roll screen offense that the Suns have already been used to running.
Jordi Fernandez would be interesting. Mike Brown’s right-hand man last year and worked a long time under Michael Malone in Denver as an assistant.#WeAreTheValley #NBA https://t.co/as31StBIQF
