DJ Bakker

DJ Bakker was previously an assistant video coordinator with the Toronto Raptors under Dwane Casey. He will now be tasked with continuing the player development within the Detroit Pistons organization. Zach Lowe of ESPN has said that Bakker is a “very well-regarded player development guy.”

He appears to be a very hands-on leader, as evident by video on his Twitter account that shows him working closely with players, as well as a lot of other coaches giving him credit.

Very little is known about Bakker.
