Guthrie Promoted to Lakers Player Dev | Los Angeles Lakers News

Zach Guthrie is rising fast — after two seasons leading the South Bay Lakers in the G League, he’s now an assistant coach for the main Lakers squad and head of player development. His track record speaks for itself: he’s helped players like Bronny James and Kobe Bufkin grow, and his team made the G League Western Conference Finals last year. With the Lakers focused on building from within, Guthrie’s promotion makes perfect sense — and while Ty Abbott remains involved in player development, the G League’s new head coach will be someone fresh. This move signals a serious investment in the Lakers’ future pipeline. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
