The instatement of Nick Nurse as the head coach for the Philadelphia 76ers following the firing of Doc Rivers should be a sign of things to come for the franchise. After all, his arrival could very well be felt on the roster not only in the tactics department where he’s a known topnotcher, but also in the aspect of player development.
As part of the team’s young core, Paul Reed could be one of the primary benefactors of Nurse’s developmental thrust. And considering the turmoil surrounding the franchise right now, bolstering the future in addition to the present should only serve the Sixers well in both the short and long run.
