Bob Myers describes draft philosophy as Sixers prepare for offseason
Bob Myers describes his draft philosophy as the Philadelphia 76ers prepare for the upcoming offseason.
CAMDEN, N. J. -- The Philadelphia 76ers are heading into an uncertain offseason as they have to search for a new head of basketball operations after parting ways with Daryl Morey.
The Sixers followed Morey's lead as the team's President of Basketball Operations for six seasons, but Philadelphia was unable to reach its ultimate goal of winning a title. In the interim, Bob Myers will run the basketball department as he looks to lead the Sixers into the offseason and get everybody on the same page. Myers spent 11-plus seasons as the GM of the Golden State Warriors and will look to carry that success to Philadelphia.
He was previously the President of Sports at Harris & Blitzer Sports & Entertainment working with Sixers managing partners Josh Harris and David Blitzer. As Myers looks to get the Sixers moving forward after a Round 2 sweep, he described his draft philosophy as Philadelphia looks to get the pick right at No. 22 in June.
"This group's done a pretty good job drafting, to be honest," said Myers. "I don't want to come in and run over anybody. This existing group, including Daryl, has drafted some good players.
