Hornets’ New Player Dev Leader | Charlotte Hornets News

The Charlotte Hornets just made a big coaching move, bringing in Jordan Sears as their new assistant coach and player development lead — stepping into the role previously held by Zach Peterson. Sears brings elite experience from his time with the Dallas Mavericks under Jason Kidd, plus championship pedigree from his stint on the Milwaukee Bucks’ video team and head coaching stints with the Texas Legends. With the Hornets rebuilding after trading stars LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges, they’re banking on Sears’ player development chops to help integrate their revamped roster — which includes new draft picks Hannes Steinbach and Christian Anderson Jr., plus re-signed star Coby White. The team’s momentum continues with head coach Charles Lee locked in for the long haul, and they’ll open their season against the Brooklyn Nets on October 21st, while their G League affiliate, the Greensboro Swarm, kicks off their championship defense in November.
