A Conversation With 76ers Head Coach Brett Brown

By Matt Leon

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The 76ers are coming off an 18-64 season, which follows a 19-63 campaign in 2013-14.

The off-season was a mixed back for the 76ers. They acquired exciting young players like big man Jahlil Okafor and guard Nik Stauskas, but also saw 2014 first-round pick Joel Embiid undergo a second foot surgery which will likely force him to miss another season.

The 76ers have assembled a roster that is very young, but also very talented, and they could start to surprise some people here in 2015-16.

Brett Brown will be entering his third season as the head coach in Philadelphia and this week KYW Newsradio's Matt Leon spoke with Brown about a number of topics including Okafor and Stauskas and the road ahead for Embiid.
