The Suns General Manager said it is wisest to choose Ultra as a coach, and the latter responded: I deserve this position

June 12th News Recently, the Suns held a press conference for the team's new head coach Jordan Ultra. During this period, Ultra insisted that it was his own efforts that made him the new head coach of the Suns.

Ott said at a press conference: "I deserve this position. I have been working hard in this industry for 20 years. I work hard and do my best. I have come into contact with many excellent people, great coaches, outstanding players... I know I deserve this opportunity. It makes me full of passion."

Suns General Manager Gregory said that Ott is the "wisest choice". He said: "His professional ethics is impeccable. His understanding of basketball, his forward-looking thinking in offense, his vision of a tough defensive system - all of which are in line with our direction. He has always performed outstandingly throughout the selection process of the Suns."

With the arrival of Ott, the Suns' coaching staff will also change. Assistant coach David Fizdale will not be retained, according to Arizona Sports reporter John Gambadoro. Former Rockets coach Stephen Silas is considering joining Ultra's coaching staff.

Ott, 43, worked as an assistant coach for Izo at Michigan State University for two years, and most recently served as an assistant coach for Kenny Atkinson's coaching staff for the Cavaliers. He defeated Johnny Bryant, who is also the Cavaliers assistant coach, and 15 other candidates, and finally stood out and became the head coach of the Suns.

Out will take over a lineup that is in the transition period. Although the Suns have not publicly stated that they will start a complete rebuild, the team has partnered with Kevin Durant and his agent Ritchie Kleiman to actively explore the possibility of completing a deal before the NBA draft. In addition, the Suns are also expected to evaluate Bradley Bill's market value, although Bill's "untradeable clause" makes the related operations more complicated.
