Duke in the NBA: Elton Brand named General Manager of 76ers

Elton Brand was a household name in his years at Duke and in his early years in the NBA.

The No. 1 overall pick by the Chicago Bulls in the 1999 NBA Draft was well on his way to an illustrious playing career in the NBA, which will now be continued in a front office role with one of his former teams, the Philadelphia 76ers.

Brand played in the City of Brotherly Love in 2016 before retiring from the NBA but he will now become the new General Manager of the young and talented 76ers.
