As others have put it, he's the original Thibs only he doesn't have an infamous grating personality. Riley begat JVG who begat Thibs. Also, several months back on Zach Lowe's podcast the question came up whether he'd prefer a defensively skewed player or an offensively skewed player and he said he'd take offense every time because you can coach players to play defense. This seems to be the opposite philosophy of Monty, although I suppose you can also read it as "I don't know how to coach offense so my players need to figure it out."
David Fisher posted some interesting stats about "stuck in the 90's" JVG

Anyone interested in knowing more about JVG needs to go search the Lowe Post archives. He's been on there with Lowe several times (not just the most recent coach talk one) since he started the pod a year ago or so. Very enlightening and interesting conversation.
JVG is more hip to the modern game than people think. He clearly talks to his brother, who was going small and launching tons of 3s in Orlando. Can Jeff actually coach in a modern style or will he revert to Riley ball? Who knows. But he's definitely aware of how things have changed.
