Overview
- Reports say God Shammgod has agreed to join Jamahl Mosley’s New Orleans staff as a front-of-the-bench assistant, but the team has not yet issued an official announcement.
- Shammgod is a former pro guard who spent roughly 2016–25 as a player-development assistant with the Dallas Mavericks and worked with Mosley in Orlando last season.
- League sources report Mosley plans to retain several existing Pelicans assistants, including Greg Monroe, Jodie Meeks, Mike Hopkins, and Will Bynum, while adding his own hires.
- Two other Mosley confidants from Orlando, defensive coordinator Dale Osbourne and coach Bret Brielmaier, are reported as strong candidates to join the staff.
- The moves reflect Mosley’s emphasis on defense and player development after a 26–56 season in New Orleans and will be important to watch for formal confirmations and how coaching changes affect young players’ progress.
