Josh Harris remains optimistic that the Philadelphia 76ers are on their way to becoming title contenders as they begin Year 3 of their rebuild with Sam Hinkie in charge.
“I think we are making progress,” Harris said Thursday during his preseason state-of-the-franchise press conference. “I’m an impatient person at heart. I would rather get to the end point as fast as possible.
“But at the same time, the goal is still the same goal to be an elite extremely competitive team that goes deep in the playoffs.”
The 76ers aren't expected to contend for a playoff spot this season.
“But at the same time there aren’t shortcuts to it,” Harris said. “So you have to react to the realities on the crowd. I certainty wish it was going faster. But at the same time, I’m happy with the progress."
