Siakam thrilled to have Rico Hines on the Raptors’ NBA coaching staff this season
Rico Hines can’t remember the last time he took a vacation. But he wouldn’t have it any other way.
While Hines worked for the Sacramento Kings for the past three years, the development coach had a strong connection to the Raptors through his summer runs, particularly with Pascal Siakam, who’s worked with Hines since his pre-draft year in 2016, and says Hines is “like family.” Hines, of Greenville, N.C., played at UCLA alongside fellow Raptors assistant Earl Watson. His first major coaching stint was in 2006 with the Golden State Warriors.
Siakam won the NBA’s Most Improved Player Award in 2019 after helping the Raptors capture their first championship, and soon after, Hines posted a mixtape of Siakam’s gruelling workouts in the previous off-season to his YouTube channel.“It’s a great asset to have, a great relationship,” said Raptors guard Fred VanVleet. “He was already extended family — him and Pascal have a great relationship.
“So, I think it’s just the conversations that you have with guys and they’ll feel your pureness and your passion for them.”
