Philadelphia 76ers coaching staff annual review
By Bret Stuter
HEAD COACH Brett Brown
If you are going to build an NBA championship team from young players out of the NBA Draft, then you had better clone head coach Brett Brown to develop them. He is one of the NBA’s best in terms of reaching and developing the young rookies entering the NBA now.

Don’t take my word for it, examine the impact of players who land on a Brett Brown coached team, versus those who have moved on. Few players have achieved the same level of productivity and proficiency as when they play for Brown. Young or old, he knows how to maximize each individual’s skillsets. Perhaps that is why so many players are beginning to speak up for Coach Brown. Others accept less money to play for him.
Brown has new tasks this year
Now, he has a roster bursting at the seams with talent. Can he work his magic? Well, it will be an entirely new set of skills required this season. In the past, Brown has been the positive flow of energy, that guy in the lockerroom with motivational speeches, tough love mentoring, and lifting players up from a tough night on the basketball court.
The Philadelphia 76ers will find success this year, perhaps more than Coach Brown will be comfortable with. He mastered finding healthy players on the battered roster last year. Will he be equally adept to meting out quality minutes to what may very well be two entire lineups of players who deserve 20 plus minutes per game. How does his sit Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot after the April 2017 flashed the brilliance of the young rookie?
This season will be a huge test for Brown. If he passes this with flying colors, the sky is the limit.
