PHILADELPHIA -- James Brister has watched The Process unfold right in front of his eyes for the past three seasons. From his seats in the last row of Section 120 at the Wells Fargo Center, he’s seen all of the growing pains, all of the roster turnover and all of the losses under Sam Hinkie.
“It’s been tough. It’s been tough,” Brister said on Friday night. “But all the consistent, hardcore fans have still been here.”
Like most others who pay close attention to the Sixers, Brister wasn’t overly surprised to hear that Hinkie stepped down as general manager and president of basketball operations late Wednesday.
