Sam Cassell: Strengths: Leadership; established NBA veteran and now a veteran assistant in his second decade on the sideline. League executives thought he would have been a solid choice for the Rockets before they hired Stephen Silas. Interviewed for the Clippers job that went to Tyronn Lue.
Ky Carlin: Doc Rivers says that Sam Cassell has been assigned to Ben Simmons and he has been working with him on a lot of different things offensively. Things such as when to shoot a jumper, when to attack, and things of that nature. #Sixers
Brian Seltzer: Sounds like early conversations between Ben Simmons and Doc Rivers have been going really well. Ben also says he’s been working a lot with Sam Cassell. “So far, [Doc] is just letting me play…and putting me in the right situations to do so.”
The Philadelphia 76ers announced today that Dave Joerger, Sam Cassell and Dan Burke have joined Doc Rivers’ bench as assistant coaches. Popeye Jones, Eric Hughes and Brian Adams have also been named to Rivers’ coaching staff, while Pete Dominguez has been added as coaching associate. Additionally, Todor Pandov has taken on the role of assistant coach/performance director.
“After taking this job, one of my top priorities was forming the best staff in the NBA,” Rivers said. “I’m thrilled with the way it came together as this group boasts years of valuable NBA experience, both playing and coaching, and each member brings a championship-level mindset to the table. I’m confident in my staff’s ability to best support our players and look forward to getting into the lab with our team as soon as we get the green light.”
