Suns star shooting guard Devin Booker will be playing for his fifth different head coach next season. Booker has played for Jeff Hornacek, Earl Watson, Jay Triano and Kokoškov.
Williams was the head coach of the New Orleans Pelicans for five seasons. He has also been an assistant coach with the Portland Trail Blazers and Oklahoma City Thunder.
