The overhaul in Orlando continued Thursday, as recently hired coach Jacque Vaughn completed his coaching staff with the addition of three assistants, two player development coaches and a special consultant. Orlando begins training camp on October 1, and opens its regular season on November 2, when they’ll host the Denver Nuggets. More details, via NBA.com: “James Borrego, Wes Unseld Jr. and Brett Gunning were hired as assistant coaches under Vaughn, who was named head coach by the Magic on July 28. Luke Stuckey and former Magic draft pick Laron Profit have been named assistant coaches/player development coaches, while veteran NBA assistant coach Gordon Chiesa was tabbed as a special consultant to the head coach. ‘Each coach brings a unique skill set to the staff,’ Vaughn said. ‘Collectively, this staff possesses a diverse basketball background. We are truly fortunate that these men have decided to join our Magic family.'”
