The Nuggets revolutionize their coaching staff: These will be the assistants of David Adelman
Nikola Jokic will see his entire coaching staff change with the arrival of several former NBA players, among other notable names
The Denver Nuggets have confirmed the hiring of Jared Dudley as the lead assistant to head coach David Adelman, along with several other signings to complete their coaching staff. The news was announced through a press release.
As first reported in early July, Dudley accepted Denver's offer after considering proposals from Memphis and Cleveland. Dudley, who spent the past four seasons as an assistant with the Dallas Mavericks, joined the Nuggets coaching staff after concluding his 14-year NBA playing career.
J.J. Barea also joins Adelman's team
Another former NBA player, J.J. Barea, will join Adelman's staff as an assistant. Barea, like Dudley, also worked for the Mavericks following his playing retirement, serving as a player development coach during the 2021/22 season. The Puerto Rican had been coaching the Guaynabo Mets in his home country but was dismissed in May. His addition to the Nuggets was also anticipated in July.
Mike Moser and Chase Buford, new additions to the coaching staff
Mike Moser, who comes to Denver after spending the last two seasons as an assistant with the Houston Rockets, will also join the coaching staff. Moser previously was a player development coach with the Boston Celtics for a season. Moreover, Moser has international experience, having coached in Lithuania, Israel, Kosovo, Qatar, Finland, and France. He has also been part of the Mavericks and the women's program at the University of Oregon.
Chase Buford, who most recently was an assistant at his alma mater, the University of Kansas, has also been hired by the Nuggets. Buford, with experience in Australia, secured two NBA titles with the Sydney Kings and also worked in the G League with the Wisconsin Herd.
Rodney Billups and other changes to the coaching staff
Rodney Billups, younger brother of the Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, will join the Nuggets coaching staff after scouting for the Brooklyn Nets last season. Billups also has experience as an assistant with the Trail Blazers for three years and as a scout with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Additionally, the Nuggets announced that Andrew Munson has been promoted to assistant coach, and Ben Potts has been hired as the new video coordinator and player development coach.
