After a long GM search, the Philadelphia 76ers finally landed on an in-house candidate Tuesday night. It was announced that Elton Brand would be promoted to general manager, ending an impressive one-year rise up the front office ranks.
With the former No. 1 pick now at the helm, the Sixers will turn their focus toward what should be an exciting 2018-19 season. Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons both project as All-Stars, while the Sixers currently rank among the elite teams in the Eastern Conference.
Brand is unique in that he was just recently an NBA player.
