Lloyd Pierce is now headed into his third season as the head coach of the Atlanta Hawks.
In last season’s exit interviews, Justin Anderson pointed out the one difference between playing for Pierce and Philadelphia and playing for him in Atlanta.
“The only difference is his defensive mentality,” Anderson said. “He hasn’t brung that to Atlanta. When that does come, it’s going to be really fun to watch. This year, we wanted to outscore a lot of guys. We wanted to make sure our offensive flow and our rhythm was good because we had so many high-octane scorers.
