    It would be good to have a good mentor for the PGs.

    Better than clogging up the roster with Dwight's buddies, I guess.

    Maybe he is a better teacher than basketball player. Not all great basketball minds could actually play basketball.

    Dwight's defense looks great this year. Josh Powell's coaching must be helping him develop!

    If that was the case, then T.I. would have showed up to perform the Three Kings song with Bun-B, and Slim Thug in last season's NBA play-offs during halftime like Morey originally wanted.

    Josh Powell's best years were with the Lakers though. He was a decent backup in them Kobe/Gasol championship years. Him and Turiaf were decent backup forwards on the Lakers. Both became terrible after leaving the Lakers.

    JVG, SVG, and Thibs never played in the NBA. I don't think the Van Gundy brothers ever played in college. Still pretty good coaches.

    Jeff played at a division III college. From wikipedia.

    Edit: They all played at small colleges.

    If JP becomes a coach and if there becomes a need late in the year for a b/u 5 then the gent is in shape and with the program. Good insurance IMO.

    the argument that you guys make saying Josh Powell wasn't a great player therefore he can't be a good coach is completely backwards.

    he made it into the nba for a reason, and that reason obviously wasn't his scoring or offensive prowess. players like him have to make up for that with their understanding of the game and bball IQ because they can't get by on their natural talent. its like brian scalabrine
