The Los Angeles Lakers are enhancing their coaching staff for the South Bay Lakers by hiring Zach Guthrie as the new head coach for their G League team. This move aims to strengthen player development within the organization.
Guthrie brings valuable NBA experience from his time with the Washington Wizards, where he has been since 2021, and he will take over from Dane Johnson. The decision is significant as it rounds out coach JJ Redick’s coaching overhaul this offseason.
Key young players like Jalen Hood-Schifino, Maxwell Lewis, Dalton Knecht, and Bronny James could be part of the South Bay roster, alongside three players on two-way contracts.
