Philadelphia 76ers head coach Doc Rivers discussed the play of sophomore Jaden Springer after Tuesday’s 147-116 home win vs. the Detroit Pistons (10 points/2 rebounds/1 assist/1 steal/4-4 FG/2-2 FT).
(via NBC Sports Philadelphia):
“He was great. Jaden I’m telling you, we talk about De’Anthony [Melton], this is probably a hell of a statement, but I think he’s gonna be an elite defender. I really do. I think he’s naturally physical. He has a chance to be a good player on the defensive end and then the offensive part about his cutting, his rebounding, he does things that he has a chance to be a good player.”
