John Kitoko brings Charlotte experience, energy, and staff value — now in a coaching role
John Kitoko is no longer a current player for Charlotte; he was promoted to Director of Player Personnel in October 2024 after serving as a graduate assistant in the 2023-24 season. As a former 49ers guard, he appeared in 20 games and logged 170 minutes during the 2018-19 season, and multiple Charlotte sources describe him as energetic, development-minded, and well-suited to player support roles. If you care about fit, he looks like the kind of basketball mind who helps a program from the inside — high-motor, team-first, and already familiar with Charlotte’s culture.
