Let's start with Borrego. The 40-year-old began his NBA journey with the Spurs in 2003 as an assistant video coordinator. He was part of the Spurs' staff for seven years and contributed to two NBA championship teams in 2005 and 2007. Borrego left the team to join former Spurs assistant Monty Williams in New Orleans.
After his stint with the then-Hornets, he joined Jacque Vaughn as the lead assistant for the Magic. This would lead to his brief run as interim coach in 2015. The Magic hired Frank Vogel, and that pushed Borrego back to where he started — in San Antonio, working with Popovich."I knew he was special when he was a video guy," Popovich said. "He worked so hard, and he also worked smart. That's a very rare combination. He played the game in college, so he can relate to players in a different way. But he also learned to coach the old-fashioned way. There are so many things he does well as a teacher. There is a reason why people around the league love him and keep trying to hire him away from me."
Has connections to Perry with the Magic. Only 40 yrs old, molded by Pop and the Spurs.
Thanks, Im glad they arent just looking at big names.
