Daily News | Dwayne Jones, Tyler Lashbrook embrace opportunity to coach Sixers’ summer league team
LAS VEGAS — While gathered in the 76ers’ video room in 2016, Tyler Lashbrook realized that then-intern Dwayne Jones had never been issued his own laptop, and ensured that the oversight would be rectified.
In keeping with the event’s spirit of showcasing up-and-coming talent, summer league head coaches are often younger staffers getting their first chance to lead NBA-caliber players. Even as the Sixers have undergone changes in the coaching staff, front office, and roster since they both joined the organization, Lashbrook and Jones have steadily worked their way up.
“It was nothing I had thought about,” Jones said. “… That was kind of one of the first things that kind of sparked my interest.” “I’m really open to talk to anybody who wants advice or wants information about pathways and how you get to this position,” Lashbrook said. In Salt Lake City, Lashbrook appreciated how Jones “made it [so] I didn’t even have to worry about anything on the bench” and could focus on the five players on the floor at any given time. That was particularly helpful when all three games went down to the wire, and Lashbrook needed to maximize timeout usage and make quick decisions.
