Buechler enjoyed a 12-year playing career highlighted by winning three consecutive championships with the Chicago Bulls from 1996-98, and was a member of the 1995-96 Bulls team that went 72-10 in the regular season. Buechler also suited up for the New Jersey Nets, San Antonio Spurs, Golden State Warriors, Detroit Pistons, Phoenix Suns, and Orlando Magic between the 1990-91 and 2001-02 seasons, appearing in 720 regular season (29 starts). In 1998-99, he finished 10th in the league in three-point field goal percentage, playing all 50 games of the lockout-shortened season. In total, he made the postseason seven times with three different teams, appearing in 71 playoff games. The University of Arizona alum played four seasons under Hall of Fame coach Lute Olson from 1986-90, averaging 14.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists as a senior, and was a First-Team All-Pac 10 selection before being drafted 38th overall in the 1990 NBA Draft by the Seattle Supersonics. In addition to his basketball accolades, the 48-year-old was also an All-America volleyball player in college. The Poway, CA native led Poway High School to three consecutive California Interscholastic Federation championships and was named CIF Player of the Year once, and in 2012 became the first athlete inducted into the Poway High School Hall of Fame. Brian Keefe Assistant Coach A 13-year veteran of the NBA coaching realm, Brian Keefe begins his second season with the Lakers. Keefe arrived in L.A. after spending the 2013-2015 seasons as an assistant coach with the New York Knicks, preceded by seven seasons spent working with the Oklahoma City Thunder (including the organization’s final season in Seattle), originally joining the franchise in the summer of 2007. He served as a player development coach for two years with the Thunder before spending his final five seasons as an assistant coach, and during his run, the team reached the post-season five times including a trip to the 2012 NBA Finals.
