The Nuggets have added Mike Moser to their coaching staff as an assistant coach, reports Michael Scotto for HoopsHype (via Twitter). They are also set to hire Chase Buford as an assistant coach, Scotto reports (Twitter link).
Moser played professionally overseas for years before coming to the NBA as a coach. He has previously worked in player development for the Mavericks and Celtics, and spent the last two seasons as an assistant for the Rockets. He has a longstanding history with Rockets’ head coach Ime Udoka.
According to Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle, Moser’s time in Houston consisted primarily of working with the team’s wing players.
Buford is the son of Spurs’ CEO and longtime general manager R.C. Buford. He was named head coach of the Bucks’ G League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd, in 2021 before eventually taking over as head coach of the Sydney Kings in the NBL. He spent last season as an analyst for the University of Kansas, where he played for three seasons as a walk-on collegiate player.
