Doc Rivers had his first official press conference as the Philadelphia 76ers’ head coach and talked on the way he sees the Sixers’ roster.

The veteran head coach referred to the Golden State Warriors’ type of play and the Sixers’ multi-positional roster pointing out the size of his current team.

(via Serena Winters of NBC Sports):

“I think you have to be who you are… I think the mistake a lot of teams made, is that everyone wanted to be Golden State, but no one could shoot like Golden State, so to me, everyone made a mistake. You have to be the best version of you & not apologize for that.”

The Sixers’ used ‘big’ lineups for most of the 2019-2020 season with Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, Al Horford and Tobias Harris in the starting five.
