While Brian Keefe isn’t technically among this offseason’s new head coaches — he took over Washington’s job midway through the 2023-24 campaign when Wes Unseld Jr.transitioned to a front office role — the Wizards have revamped his coaching staff heading into Keefe’s first full season at the helm.

According to a press release from the team, veteran assistant David Vanterpool is the only member of last season’s staff returning for 2024-25. The new additions, some of whom were previously reported, are as follows:

  • Adam Caporn, a former G League head coach for the Long Island Nets who spent the past three seasons as an assistant in Brooklyn.
  • J.J. Outlaw, an assistant coach with the Cavaliers for the past five seasons who also had stints with the Lakers and Grizzlies.
  • Brian Randle, who spent last season as a Pistons assistant and previously worked for the Suns (as an assistant) and Timberwolves (as a player development coach).
  • T.J. Sorrentine, a longtime assistant coach at Brown University.
  • Alexis Ajinca, a seven-year NBA veteran who also played professionally in France and transitioned into coaching in 2023 as an assistant for the Capital City Go-Go, Washington’s G League affiliate.

Joseph Blair, James Posey, and Mike Miller were among the notable assistants the Wizards let go when the club cleaned house in April.
