What coaches and players say about roles, minutes, gameplans and development.
LeBron is on a 16 to 18 minute limit for now and how he gets there is flexible.
โIt was going to be first half minutes, right? ... So a nine minute stint is seven, you know, what would be a normal one or six and a half or something. ... And to get to that number, 16, 18 minutes, it doesn't really matter how you do it right now.โ
Team is emphasizing pushing pace and throwing ahead in the first three quarters.
โWe got a lot of guys who have speed and can beat guys off the bounce, create an advantage. We got to continue to encourage to just throw it ahead... during the first three quarters, we should be up and down.โ
Who is nominally the point guard matters little because LeBron is expected to bring the ball up or get the first pass.
โI think we've got several guys that can grab and go and enough secondary triggers that it shouldn't matter who is nominally the point guard for the Sixers. But he expects LeBron James to either bring the ball up or receive the first pass of the possession.โ
