I was surprised that he decided to become an assistant coach. My thinking is that Duncan will balance Pops intensity with his keep it cool approach. I don't know if the throne will be his though, my bet has been on Becky Hammond for a while.
While we are at it, who's gonna play for team USA in China? Seems like everyone is jumping off the boat, even DeRozan. That one surprised me the most considering Pop is leading the team now.
