76ers’ sophomore Jaden Springer has only appear in 9 games during his first two years in the NBA, yet he has earned a massive praise from his head coach Doc Rivers.

According to him, the former first-round draft pick has what it takes to be an elite player on the defensive end.

“I’m telling you, he’s going to be an elite defensive player in our league,” Rivers said about the 20-year-old guard, per Noah Levick.
