The Sixers are looking for their next head coach, and former Sixer Danny Green, on his own podcast, “Inside the Green Room,” says former Phoenix Suns head coach Monty Williams should be the next coach in Philadelphia.
“I think Monty can coach Joel (Embiid). We don’t know what’s gonna happen with James Harden. So I think he’s a good fit and (has) a positive attitude. Teach them how to play the right way, unselfish basketball.”
Green also played for some of the available title-winning head coaches during his playing career, like Frank Vogel when he was with the Los Angeles Lakers and Nick Nurse when he was with the Toronto Raptors. Green managed to win titles with both of them, but he believes Williams would be the best option for the Sixers.
Williams played for the Sixers in his last NBA season (2002-03) and was an assistant coach for them during the 2018-19 season.
