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?
