Chauncey Billups Had Huge Praise For Darvin Ham: “He’s Won As A Player, He’s Won As A Coach… He’s The Right Guy For This Lakers Job.”

The Los Angeles Lakers have recently hired Darvin Ham as their head coach, after a subpar season which resulted in the firing of Frank Vogel. Hopefully, Ham can get the Los Angeles Lakers back to being a championship-level team.

Portland Trail Blazers’ coach Chauncey Billups has recently praised Darvin Ham, pointing out that “he’s going to be honest as a coach of the Lakers”, and added that “he is ready for this job”. Billups also pointed out that Ham has won as a player and a coach, which speaks to his experience. Dan Woike and Broderick Turner of the SunHerald relayed the news:

“He’s going to be honest as a coach of the Lakers, which is what I think you need in the NBA today — somebody that’s going to be honest but know how to be honest without actually just tearing you down. What can you say? He’s won as a player. He’s won as a coach. I mean, this dude is more than qualified for the task at hand. I’m so happy and proud of him. I spoke to him last night, and he was so excited.”

“He’s ready for this job. He’s the right guy for this Lakers job.”

Hopefully, we see Darvin Ham find success with the Los Angeles Lakers. One of the key things he will have to do is make Russell Westbrook work alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis, something that former coach Frank Vogel failed to do this season. Perhaps Darvin Ham will have better luck.

There is no doubt that the Los Angeles Lakers will need more than just hiring a new coach to get back to being a top-tier team. With that being said, acquiring Darvin Ham is a good step towards them getting back to that level, and with a few roster moves, they could be right back in the Western Conference playoffs picture.
