Dunn will return for his third season on the Kings bench after working for Adelman since 2004. The 14-year NBA veteran also was an assistant in Denver, and he coached the WNBA's Charlotte Sting.
O'Connor, an assistant with the New York Knicks last season, was Musselman's assistant in the CBA and the USBL during the 1990s.
Hughes, another former CBA coach, was an assistant at San Diego State for the last two seasons. Hamm, who played in college for Musselman's father, Bill, was the Memphis Grizzlies' video coordinator last season while Eric Musselman was an assistant to Mike Fratello.
