Brett Brown Rumors

The Sixers’ roster is as varied in national origin as that of any team in the league, and their offense is similarly diverse. The pick-and-roll is the backbone of the vast majority of attacks in the NBA, but the Sixers run fewer of them, opting instead for a wide-ranging menu. “It really, at times, isn’t an NBA feel,” says Brown, who coached internationally for 17 years. “It’s got a high level of motion, and movement.

Kyle Neubeck: “You could see the passion,” Brown says of Saric’s performance and demeanor on the court. Credits Dario’s history internationally as part of what has allowed him to thrive in this setting. “I thought he was fantastic tonight.”
