He went on to play 10 seasons in the NBA with the Blazers, Memphis Grizzlies, Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings and New Orleans Hornets. In 591 career games, Wells averaged 12.1 points and 4.6 rebounds.

Wells will take over a LeMoyne-Owen basketball team that is moving forward from the previous coach, William Anderson, who served in that role for the past 11 years.

While the Magicians have finished with a losing record in three of the last four seasons, they have done well in conference tournaments finishing as runner-ups in two of the last five.
