Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr and assistant Chris DeMarco were instrumental in successfully recruiting sharpshooter Buddy Hield to join the team, despite interest from the Los Angeles Lakers. DeMarco, who also coaches the Bahamian national team that Hield plays for, played a key role in convincing the eight-year veteran to choose the Warriors. Kerr's late-night phone call ultimately sealed the deal. This addition of Hield, along with agreements with other players, reflects a strong rebound for the Warriors following the departure of Klay Thompson. DeMarco's rise within the organization, from video coordinator to assistant coach, showcases his influence in shaping the team's success. If Hield plays a significant role in returning the Warriors to NBA prominence, DeMarco's efforts in recruiting him will not go unnoticed.
