Malone's head coaching experience is limited, but promising. He was fired by the Sacramento Kings early this season - only after 24 games (11-13 record) - but earned respect from his players, especially the oft-troubled DeMarcus Cousins who bought into Malone's style of gritty defense. In 106 games with the Kings, Malone finished 39-67.
Malone had been an NBA assistant coach with four teams including Golden State (2011-13), New Orleans ('10-'11), Cleveland ('05-'10) and New York ('01-'05).
The NBA draft is next Thursday, June 25. The 2015-2016 NBA regular season starts on October 27, 2015.
