Coaching Diary: Presenting Philadelphia 76ers Roster

Hello 76ers fans, I'm Philly Coach Brett Brown and today is first edition of Coaching Diary in which I'll try to interact more with the fans of our NBA basketball team. In this edition I will try to show you my vision of the team and what I think of every player. So...let's get started with expected starting lineup for Season Opener versus Charlotte Hornets which will be played on 30th of October, 2014. Next edition will feature players who are expected to contribute off the bench.

Michael Carter-Williams

Michael Carter Williams, a.k.a. MCW, is reigning Rookie of the Year. He looks like a reincarnation of Penny Hardaway...just a lite version...for now. We'll look for him to lead the team in the future as he takes the role of the Captain with the departure of Thad Young. He's expected to defend, distribute, score and rebound. In that order.

Predicted Stat Line 2014/2015: 33.4 MPG, 18.6 PPG, 5.6 RBG, 6.8 APG, 1.3 SPG, 0.5 BPG, 44 FG%, 33 3PT%

Jason Richardson

J-Rich is our only veteran and he takes on the role of developing youngster as well as hit some 3 pointers while incorporating defense in his game. I want him to develop into seasoned 3 and D guy seeing as he's our best outside shooter. With MCW he should form biggest frontcourt in the NBA.

Predicted Stat Line 2014/2015: 25.3 MPG, 11.3 PPG, 3.2 RBG, 2.0 APG, 0.4 SPG, 0.2 BPG, 41 FG%, 35 3PT%

Dario Šarić

Dario is well...a tweener who likes to handle the ball. And that's what he'll be. Working in the high post while handling the ball and distributing it as he sees fit. He is clutch and already an improved shooter in these three weeks with our coaching staff. Expect him to be the 2014 version of Boris Diaw for this team. Also expect him to contend for Rookie of the Year award. Relentless rebounder and best passing forward, great weak-side defender.

Predicted Stat Line 2014/2015: 31.2 MPG, 12 PPG, 6.4 RBG, 5.6 APG, 1.2 SPG, 1.0 BPG, 47 FG%, 32 3PT%

Nerlens Noel

While he was expected to come in the league and be a Center he has shown enough improvement that I'm confident enough to put him as starting Power Forward alongside another rookie Center. Noel is great defender and rebounder with solid post moves. Expect him to contend for both ROTY award and DOPY award. Yes, I'm that confident in this young man.

Predicted Stat Line 2014/2015: 29.9 MPG, 12.4 PPG, 8.9 RBG, 1.3 APG, 1.5 SPG, 1.6 BPG, 53 FG%

Joel Embiid

Joel Embiid is top-notch two-way Center. If I had to describe him in two words it'd be ''franchise player''. That's who he is. Expected to make immediate impact on both sides of the court. Will be getting more minutes as I see it fit. If he impresses with his stamina and fatigue he can expect 35 minutes per game. I have no concern with his health. No doubt he's next big thing. Howard who?

Predicted Stat Line 2014/2015: 31.4 MPG, 14.5 PPG, 8.8 RBPG, 2.3 APG, 0.9 SPG, 1.6 BPG, 56 FG%

That's it. Your Philadelphia 76ers starting lineup. Biggest lineup in the NBA. NBA -- where everyone goess small-ball and 76ers defy any common sense...and are successful in it.

Opening Night: Philly Rookies Dominate Hornets

It's Opening Night of the new 2014-2015 NBA season and our beloved 76ers are opening the season versus last year's Playoff participants Charlotte Hornets and their new acquisition Lance Stephenson. Brett Brown had to figure out how to put together a bunch of youngsters and a single vet and he sure did make it work.

All we can say is WOW. Coach Brown did awesome job at limiting Charlotte's Fielg Goal Percentage at only 41 percent while scoring at reasonably high percentage. It's evident that Philly does not have any real outside threat. They rely on Jason Richardson to hit 4 or more three pointers and everyone else is just a fluke.

Frontcourt of Dario Šarić, 6-10 tweener, Nerlens Noel, 6-10 big man, and a legit 7 footer Joel Embiid worked magnificently. Dario and Embiid are great post players and unselfish with great teamwork, while Noel is a beast under the basket with a little jumper. Three of them provide rebounding and unselfishness. At one point in third quarter every one of them grabbed tough offensive rebound and instead of going up and taking tough contested jumper they kicked it out which resulted in easy jumper.

Three rookies and three great showings. Embiid showed that he can play in the post on both ends of the court scoring 4 points from the right block and blocking 5 shots. Noel showed nice jumper and good range as he was forced to play on the perimeter because Vonleh, who he guarded, likes to roam at the three point line. Dario did not score much -- only 7 points, but he did get 8 assists and grabbed 4 rebounds. And you know about him having short arms? Yeah...he had 3 steals and a block. All while co-leading the offense with MCW.

We must say our praises to the reigning Rookie of the Year Michael Carter-Williams because he displayed great leadership and maturity. He lead by example and played great defense guarding 3 positions with same effect. He scored an efficient 21 point while dishing 8 assists. His long arms disrupted many passes which caused confusion in Hornets' offense.

We also had an offensive resurrection of Anthony Bennet, last year's number 1 pick. He scored and efficient 18 points in only 25 minutes while showing off his improved body shape. He displayed confidence and unselfishness. Something we will see more of from all of the Brett Brown's boys. We are very much looking forward to the next game which is against Wizards on first of November.
