Trae Young’s gonna learn A LOT from Nick Van Exel, one of the most underrated & craftiest point guards, EVER!
Van Exel is now an assistant coach on Nate McMillan’s coaching staff in Atlanta 💯@rayfordyoung , @TheTraeYoung pic.twitter.com/9N0uPwtXfC

Very similar clutch gene. They have the guts to shoot it from anywhere…this one is really interesting because I think Quick has seen something on film he thinks he can unlock in Trae. And two, I mean ATL got Sharife Cooper and Jalen Johnson…they’re gathering nuts

I could almost see the Lakers bring in some former players who want to get into coaching. You wonder if the reference they made to looking for a former player to be an assistant referred to somebody else and not to Jared.
