When Mike Brown became head coach of the Sacramento Kings a few years ago, Jordi Fernandez was one of his first hires. With his stellar showings with both the Kings and Nuggets beforehand, it was expected that Fernandez would garner significant consideration for head coach openings leaguewide. Sure enough, he was hired by the Brooklyn Nets and is bringing another Sacramento assistant with him, Deividas Dulkys.

Deividas Dulkys was assigned to Malik Monk, who is headed into unrestricted free agency throughout the regular season. Having been collegiate teammates with assistant coach Luke Loucks at Florida State, the coaching staff had a solid relationship.
