It was little more than an year ago that Elton Brand was named general manager of the Delaware Blue Coats. Now, as the newly minted GM of the 76ers, Brand has promoted Matt Lilly to take the reins of the Sixers' G League affiliate.
Lilly, who was the director of basketball operations and scouting for the Blue Coats under Brand, is taking over as general manager of the team on an interim basis.
"He is a bright, young basketball mind that I worked closely with during my time in Delaware, and I'm thrilled that he's earned this opportunity," Brand said in a statement Thursday.
