KEY ONE: Watch Dario Saric’s offense

After this morning’s shoot-around, head coach Brett Brown paused to answer some questions from the media.

The first topic touched by Brown in the interview covered the surprising offense of Dario Saric:

"“I think that his shot has improved… I want to say… a significant amount in relation more to his range. His form, his mechanics of his shot were always solid. But he had grown up and was always sort of a “long two” guy. I think the growth of his three point shot has surprised me. I feel like his overall play has surprised me. His two games were impressive, especially in restricted minutes. But even in practices, skill-wise he’s been a (pleasant) surprise. I’ve only been playing up … 18 minutes. But we fully intend to play Ben (Simmons) and Dario (Saric) together. Saric’s performance has been solid.”-Brett Brown discussing Dario Saric"

How solid will it be tonight?

Well, Dario Saric is already excited to face off against Lebron James

Only this time he won’t play against him on Playstation:

"“Of course! Last time I played with him was on a Playstation. And my friends and I grew up watching him play in Miami. Now I am young man from Croatia and I get to play against him? It’s like a dream” – Dario Saric discussing facing Lebron James"
