With the Sixers facing the Atlanta Hawks tonight, I chatted with Brad Rowland to learn more about one of the league’s youngest teams. In addition to his Hawks coverage for PeachtreeHoops.com, he hosts the Locked on Hawks Podcast.
Question #1: The Sixers lost an underrated piece of the puzzle this summer when lead assistant coach Lloyd Pierce left for the head coaching position in Atlanta. How would you evaluate Pierce’s tenure thus far?
I think, as with any first-year head coach, Pierce gets an “incomplete” so far- but it’s going well.
